- Hello Rainer,
-
- [RR>> Background information is nice; having a short note about when it was
- [RR>> ratified and how many people were on the list to help create it would
- [RR>
- [RR>Put it in a different file and not in the program, please, where you can
- [RR>delete it after reading (perhaps as a hyper text file for ST-Guide). In the
- [RR>program only the icon and the level and only some words. Think of hundreds
- [RR>[hope so:-) ] PRGs being conform to the gem-list standard and every PRG has
- [RR>10kB of the same information in it...
-
- 10K? Ack! No, I was only suggesting a BRIEF message; maybe three sentences
- long, at the most. Placing the note in the documentation is a good idea,
- too, though.
-
- [RR>The proposed icon with the number in it isn't good, because of the limit of
- [RR>9 levels.
-
- Why is that a problem? A standard with nine levels of support would be
- extremely complex; anyway, why nine? Use HEX! :)
-
- [RR>> Conclusion: including a list of internationally available key combinations
- [RR>> in the shortcut standard is necessary IMO.
- [RR>
- [RR>Very good!
-
- This is a good idea; it would make programming international software much
- easier.
-
- [RR>>I don't like your idea of using a capital or lower-case letter for
- [RR>>shift. I like the up-arrow because it makes it obvious what needs to be
- [RR>>pressed.
- [RR>>
- [RR>>I agree.
-
- I also agree; it looks bad, and it is confusing.
-
- [RR>I've learned the English 'load' too:-)
-
- While we are on the subject of words, does anyone know a good english word
- for Kurzeldatei? I think "Substitution File" is good, but long. Is there
- anything better?
