A really dated post, but I thought I would follow up on it.

        Yeah, I have integrated them into CVS.

        Ah okay, I need to look into how this is done via gtk+.

        I've been thinking about this and played with the code a little.
It sounds simple to do, but it isn't (code wise).  I'm also concern that
if I get rid of the shift key, then using the middle mouse copy/move
will become harder to use.  Suppose you have multiple things selected and
you want to move the group, then you press the shift and middle button.
Now, suppose you have multiple objects selected and you want to just move
a single object that is underneath the mouse, simple, you just press the
middle button over the object.  If I get rid of the shift key, then you
would have to unselect the other objects before moving a single one (an
extra click required).

        Yeah, that is a bug.  I have fixed this and a few similar bugs in CVS.
However, pressing 'n' in net mode starts another net where the cursor is.
I could change that if there is outrage. :)

        Noted.

        Also noted.

        The attributes.txt document is the standard description for all this.

        Thanks for the improved font defs.
