Actually, Michael, Abandon can be taken two different ways. It can either
re-load the abandoned file (if it indeed was existent), or it can completely
delete it from memory. CTRL-H is usually the standard to this type of
thing, although I have seen CTRL-UNDO and SHIFT-UNDO to abandon a doc.
I propose that "CTRL-H" be used as a permanent standard to Abandon. Any
seconds?
Although Abandon does what you said, there should be an alternate type
of abandon that you can specify what action it takes. For instance, if
you want to abandon-and-reload the document, hit CTRL-H. To abandon,
and close, hit "CTRL-SHIFT-H". To abandon and QUIT a program, use
"CTRL-ALT-H"
These are simple ideas... They will probably be good as standards, but
who am I for making standards? :)
