Now both names are obviously less complete and accurate as the current menu. The problem with the current menu name, however, is that nobody has a clue what "CUA-style" is. Or at least: those that _do_ know CUA-style by name would have no trouble whatsoever to figure out the meaning of the less precise names. Whereas the other way round things happen to be different... -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
