In checking this out (I did not find the bug, BTW), I noticed the OPEN and
CLOSE items.  I normally just double click to open an icon, but I tried out the
OPEN item out of curiosity.  It did exactly what I expected it to, of course,
but I could not figure out what in the world the CLOSE item is for.  I couldn't
find it in the A500 manual (which is pretty much identical to the A1000 manual
except that the text and about 2/3 of the illustrations have been updated for
WB1.2).  Does anybody know what CLOSE is for?

Be seeing you...
