- This does sound like a nice idea, from the user's point of view,
- but surely a bit of a nightmare from the programmer's.
-
- There will be a core set of functions which are included in all
- programs (Load, Save, New, Quit etc.) but then there will be
- some which are completely unique to the program itself.
- Is the idea that the individual program has its own APP_DEFS file which the
- user then modifies, or just one global file? I hope it's not the latter,
- because if so the program would have to start working where to put its
- unique functions.
-
- By the way, has anyone suggested a format yet? Something like
-
- ^N New
- ^O Open
- ^S Save
- ^R Save As
- ^Q Quit
-
- etc., I suppose?
-
- I'm probably stating/asking the obvious, but I seemed to have joined the
- conversation at a late stage!
