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. -- -- Peter da Silva `-_-' ...!seismo!soma!uhnix1!sugar!peter (I said, NO PHOTOS!)
