The menu items on that menu are exactly what I would put o= n the modeline menu for quick access, though I would make it a one-level menu. It takes a lot of time to go to Options, visually scan down the menu, find Hide/Show, etc. Versus a quick click on the modeline and you are setting this. Then either place people go would be wholly consistent. Bob =E2=80=8B --f403045ee8561f6601055ad37e30 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
