   Just a minor point here. Intuition is NOT the same thing as the Workbench. 
Ive seen quite a lot of people missing this distinction lately. Intuition
as most of us know, is the library and background task that handle pull
down menus, and gadgets, and all of that. Workbench is the system that you
use to run programs using all the gadgets. The reason I wanted to make this
distinction is simple. I think intuition is basically excellent. However,
I think workbench is horrible. Its slow, its cumbersome, its not terribly
flexible, its a pain the neck. My use of WOrkbench is opening the CLI on
the workbench disk at work. I cannot STAND all those miserable .info files..
they're handled pretty poorly. The best suggestion Ive seen so far is the
replacement of the .info files, with the same files in a subdirectory.. that
way we can have the advantages of the individual icon files, & a directory
search with half the files to sort through.
