- I have found TTX to be the ultimate program in following the rules -
- clipboard, arexx, workbench.library, support and more.

- As for your dvorak keyboard issue - it is a non-issue. Go edit your
- keybindings and bind the keys to the dvorak layout. Even easier than
- setting up a keymap.

- A funny story: I loaded my 7Meg mbox into ttx the other day. When I quit
- the file, I thought the program crashed... I waited a bit and was just
- about to hit C-A-A when the quit finished. Took many many many seconds
- to free up its linked lists :)
