That was also a bit counter-intuitive, that closing a window didn't quit th=

program. :-) I remember sitting there, looking at a blank screen, wondering
why I didn't see my hard drive, and then remembering that I had to 'quit'
the program also. :-) This was a big problem for many people to get used to=
.
The Newton, at least, when you click the "Close" icon, actually will quit
the app if you click enough. There's simplicity.
BTW, like the "Extras" problem. I started with NOS 1.3, and then, Extras
meant just that--all the little extras that didn't fit on the silk-screened
bar. With the advent of the 2k series, it's a bit outdated...
