Hotkeys? What is this junk? We have this great system with a visual user
interface and you want hotkeys? If you want a resident program available
for calling up at any moment, just copy it into VD0: or RAM: and click
it up. If you want to save the memory, just leave it on the disk. The
Amiga has the most painless disk-swapping behaviour I've ever seen.

MS-DOS-type resident software is totally inappropriate for this machine.

If you want hotkeys, fine. Write a macro processor to do the execution...
but keep your keys out of my memory. It ain't broke, so don't fix it.
