It's an implementation technique to allow things like the content of menu entries to be defined very late---even as late as runtime. It could be arranged so that different bindings could be created, so that the display could be in "international" symbols (they aren't, you know), SignWriter pictograms, Egyptian hieroglyphics, or in any written language (English, French, Spanish, or even unusual choices like British or Urdu). Doing something like that may involve additional support mechanisms that it may be too late to do for 5.0, but you might want to do it in a future release. Oh, my personal choice is words, no pictures. But then, I've never really related to visual stimulus (the explaination is long and boring) and I'm aware that others find icons easier than words. That's why I suggest a flexible capability. -- Greg Noel, retired UNIX guru | ||||||||||||||||
