I wrote the patch that led to these menus being in their current state, arguing that the original menus were too ambiguous and informal. The original choice was "(f)orget it"--it took some convincing for Thomas (Rosselar) to take the patch, and when he did he insisted on keeping the (f) choice as an undocumented choice because his brain was hard-wired to use it. There's a discussion about this in the archives... if anyone cares to dig it up. Probably about 10 or 11 years ago I'm guessing, but I could be wrong. -- Derek D.
