- 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? :)
