- Correct me if I'm wrong ;-), but the basic idea of this Gem-List is to
- create a new standard for all applications, isn't it? Certainly the new
- SC for "Save as..." will be a litttle bit irritating for some users but
- it's more logical. And after some time everybody will use the new SC.
- Don't let us make the mistake to take over old STandards only because
- they're used. Or has anybody used ATARI's SC "^W" for closing a window?
- Standards must be logical clear for the user so we have to use "Shift-
- CTRL-S " anyhow.
