- Well, dual standards aren't really the way to go. If the user wants
- to have one type of shortcut for a certain feature, and another
- program already utilizes that shortcut internally, there would be a
- conflict between programs. I just think it's better design to physically
- put the shortcuts into the text segment of an assembly program. Unfortunately,
- many of us out here don't know how to do this.

- What? I never said anything about not trusting a global config file, now
- did I. I simply stated that it would be *BETTER DESIGN* (by definition)
- to have the application's shortcuts built-in to the program; but if you
- want to do it your way, more power to 'ya. I'm not here to CONTROL what is
- right or wrong, I just stated an opinion. Please, don't start bashing me
- just because I came up with a legitimate choice.
