If we are taking a head count here, I want to chime in MOST STRONGLY about
how much I AGREE that this should be changed. The current behavior is IMHO
Protel's most annoying "feature". Almost daily usage and I constantly open
things accidentally- I just can't seem to learn it the other way.

An Outstanding Idea if I ever heard one. One would think that this would
be an obvious thing to do.
