Its unreasonable to expect an author defend against vaporous claims. You've made many valid points, including most recently the problems with multiple values mapped from like keys, and I'll be making those changes. I'll also be revisiting Mr. Kawai's points to make sure they've been adequately covered. But its a waste of everyone's time to dwell on subjective notions of what makes a good interface without suggestions on how to get there. Scott
