The real desire is to move it off of the button mapping that causes it to be executed in error more than it is used on purpose. Because of the limited button options on the player, a good alternative button mapping may be impractical so some people have suggested that losing the cancel functionality is preferable to keeping it in its current place where it is so often selected in error. > One of the > virtues of Windows as a totally interactive UI is > that you can explore and experiment without > committing to any (possibly damaging) changes.

That is why I am working on a killer patch that gives the player a "Windows like" full 1024x768 graphical user interface with virtually unlimited user defined buttons, sliders and gadgets so that we can implement such a "totally interactive UI", but until I get that up and running we have to look at the trade-offs of cluttering our 6 button 22 character user interface with inconsistent error causing complexity and/or requiring additional screens and steps to do something vs. having a simple, consistent and intuitive interface which provides the most commonly needed functionality, but which may not have every feature that everyone would like in a perfect world. ===== Craig rb_dev_at_yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
