Thank you for these suggestions, which certainly all make sense. We'll
have to carefully think about each one before changing things in XXE.
(When a user request cannot be questioned, like Melvyn's:
``Tooltips ought to mention shortcut keys where these exist (e.g.
instead of "Convert [wrap]" make the tip "Convert [wrap] (Ctrl+T)".
You've done this for New, Open, and Save but it would be nice if it were
done across the application.''
the answer is generally: you'll have it in next release.)
