Bruce,

Thankyou for taking my work and adding all these user-friendly aspects
to it. Although it's a rather prosaic feature, it will make a lot of
people happy and make our path to World Domination easier ;-)

I haven't had any startling revelations on the subject of appropriate
keywords.

I will provide some tests for the regression suite some time in the next
few weeks.

cheers
