I guess there is no good answer to it. I did give you the answer: I tried it and found to my surprise that I liked it, so I suggested it and people said "no way", then they tried it and some people hated it, while others really liked it. So in the end it was a judgment call, and I decided that the added convenience of being able to deal with very-long-lines without having to change mode was more important. I.e. I decided that case 3 (in my earlier long post about it) was less common and less important. Stefan
