Then, what we need to do is get a running list of all of the people who
are registered on this list, and those who have taken active part in
deciding the standards.  I am already working on Level 3+ standards for
dialog boxes, so don't come up with any before then...  I'm still working
on 'em.

In LTMF-2, I just put in the main dialog that it supports "Gem-List
Standards" rather than suffocating the user in what it is.  I made the icon
itself TOUCHEXIT flag, so if they click on it, it brings up a short little
*SCROLLABLE* help screen showing them about the program.  (The scrollable
help screen was based on Christian Grunenberg's idea).
