I happen to like it as it is. I use it so often that I'm very used to it. I
wish other programs used the single-click.

Dwight, Dennis,
I believe this is the second recent go-around for this issue as a
thread on the listserver and everyone seems to be of the same consensus, it
should follow Windows conventions (not Web link single click convention).
I would have thought it was obvious to some of the other veterans on
the group but maybe not. I try to discipline myself to right click only in
the Explorer pane of Protel. This allows access to all the normal rename,
copy, open, delete and other functions one might normally do after single
left clicking and "then" right clicking.
Another inconsistency 'seems to come along if you single click the
icon or the file name, single clicking the icon opens consistently and
single clicking the name does not seem so consistent. Anybody else notice
this variation?
