- I like the "junk," myself - it helps you see what's what. It would be *really*
- cool if CBM would write a "ReqPrefs" that would let you specify whatever you
- wanted in your standard file, font, etc. requesters. It wouldn't be that
- tough for them, and it would improve the customization without really damaging
- the standardization - in fact it might help standardize people on the ASL
- requesters if they liked them more.
