Either I have some difficulty explaining what I want to see or some netters
have difficulty understanding what I said. Either way, confusion reins. RE:
Fkeys on WP, the multi-levelled Fkey approach is great for some one who uses
WP every day. What about the occasional user who goes on vacation for 3 weeks;
he tends to forget a great deal and has to re-learn WP over and over again.
In a business environment, re-learning an application can get expensive.

Certainly, WP-ST's menus minimize the relearning process. All I suggested was
an improvement of the F-key interface. If an appl. uses Fkeys, their defs
SHOULD be on the screen, not on some piece of cardboard.

      WP's window                          button, the Fkey defs would change
                                           to show Alt, Shft or Ctl Fkeys
