[Martin J Brown-Jr notes that the scroll arrows are too far apart]

I agree that scrollbars have poor design in general.  I have been fairly
impressed with the OpenLook standard for windowing appearance, and was
wondering if Commodore has looked at the option of supporting OpenLook
in 1.4 or after.  In particular, the scrollbars and the resize gadgets
are some of the nicest I have ever seen.

Also, I have had some difficulty finding some of the user interface tools
I would expect in a windowing system on the Amiga.  For example, is there
a routine that you can give some text and receive a standard-shaped button?
If there isn't, I request that Commodore add such a routine!  This kind of
routine is essential to developing a standard (but optional) user interface,
I would think.
