Correct me if I'm wrong ;-), but the basic idea of this Gem-List is to
create a new standard for all applications, isn't it? Certainly the new
SC for "Save as..." will be a litttle bit irritating for some users but
it's more logical. And after some time everybody will use the new SC.
Don't let us make the mistake to take over old STandards only because
they're used. Or has anybody used ATARI's SC "^W" for closing a window?
Standards must be logical clear for the user so we have to use "Shift-
CTRL-S " anyhow.
