In Release 2, your response to any requester which comes up during the definition of a macro can be stored as part of the macro. This is enormously powerful. > 5) Is using the mouse ever required (I don't care if it is by default, just > as long as I can get around it by changing the bindings or whatever)? A major design goal of CEDPro is never forcing the user to use one input mechanism over another. The only thing tied to the mouse is scrolling the entries in the file requester. We apologize for not having Release 2 in the stores yet. Our packaging plans got enormously screwed. While we have been shipping upgrades, we'll get it to the stores just as soon as we can. -- Perry Kivolowitz, ASDG Inc. ``We look for things. Things that make us go.''
