- Well, there indeed are some severe differences in the CDTV and Amiga user
- interface: The right button on the CDTV remote control (which corresponds
- to the right mouse button) works as an Undo or Step Back key, which is
- normally done by the Esc key on normal Amiga applications; while on the
- CDTV, the Esc key is small and serves as a Help key. You see, this is not
- at all obvious for a standard Amiga user, perhaps more for a total newbie.
- So you cannot draw the conclusion that this could show flaws in the Amiga
- user interface structure, as I suspect after reading your post.
