In other > words, as Rob pointed out before, 3-1 is already taken. Not to be argumentative, but so does 3-2. Not including a seemingly useful feature because you don't want to change the behaviour of your fingers under a seldom used mechanism seems foolish. If you want 1 to cancel a 3 click then it should be across the board and cancel a 2 click as well. Regularity shouldn't be an option. Since 1 is useful for X with args, it can be useful for open with args. Suppose the concept whereby the user highlights a string representative of the window he/she wants the open to occur in. If you highlight, say, `.' you mean ``open here.'' Otherwise, you could open all docs in one particular window. Perhaps there are other uses. I'm not certain of acme's internal window naming organisation, but this seems doable. Sam
