Waiting for docs, or similar, since how I described the interaction model meant it wasn’t obvious how to proceed. But another poster added an example to the thread. Here’s an analogy on how I felt on the interaction model. The older task types are like being given an address and also which way (to or from) to go and what to do with the information. This new task is like being given just an address. A fire-and-forget interface for the former couldn’t work with the latter, since the latter also needs to manually insert your walking directions. — Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT mac DOT com
