Of course, people only occasionally want to do that. When you don't want to do another operation on those files, you can simply ignore the marks, or unmark the files. It seems to be a useful benefit in a fraction of cases, and no loss in the rest. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
