OK, I understood. Thanks for your explanation.
It's hard to think out a name exactly expressing a role of
a function, isn't it? In particular for a function that ordinary
users don't know while developers do such as "Flags" :-),
"Startup Notify", and "Wait Exit".
So I was thinking... This is my *personal* opinion.
The term "remember" could be replaced with "Locks",
"remember" is already popular in the world, though :)
But I think there is some room to improve the term "Flags"
What about substituting a different name, say "other window
attributes" or something for "Flags" and explaining its meaning
in some document? Well... but the term I picked out is not cool.
In any case your explanation helped me translate "Flags" to
Japanese.
Thanks, Kim.
Regards.
