I hear that!

It would have been a bit more obvious had it been above the right pane of 
the little window. Then the mental connection would have been a lot more 
automatic.  I have done some gui's on older machines that had far fewer 
colors available, and there is a huge difference in the perception 
of  "user friendly" when seemingly tiny details like that are attended 
to.

Yes.  Now I wish I could get some sleep.  3AM local and I'm rolling and 
tossing, trying to find a comfy position for my arthritic back yet.  Had 
to get up, and I've heard that a good geek, up in the middle of the 
night for whatever reason, is obligated to check his email before going 
back to bed.  Part of the geek contract I've heard. :)  Like you, I'll 
stick to it. ;-)
