Peter, I agree that 'File - New' and 'File - Open' are standard and clear 
enough. But at your invitation for suggestions, this thought came to mind: 
It might help some users if the name of the menu was changed from 'File' to 
'Database'. Even for me as a long-time user of Mnemosyne, I never think of 
the DB as a file in itself -- probably because I never interact with (open, 
move, copy, rename) it directly as I do with text, spreadsheet, image, and 
sound files. Instead, I encounter the database only within Mnemosyne 
itself, hence it seems to be a part of the program rather than a file with 
independent existence.
