- *fax* icon: an icon on the desktop that sets the current printer
- to my fax modem.

- Ever have to set attributes for a lot of resources, all alike?
- It is much less painful when cmd-return closes the current resource,
- opens the next, and positions the cursor for the next value.

- So far, only one: QK will only work with the first *10* applications.
- This means that if you are running things like Darkside, etc (applications
- that do the work of INITs) or Toolserver (applications that really
- should have been pure background applications), and you have a lot
- of memory, and you don't quit applications until you need to, some
- applications will not be able to do quickkeys.
