	Yes...  But we have to recognise that we ARE using UNIX.  Why
should we (by default) alienate UNIX users by getting rid of the default
key bindings they are used to?  Also, since people won't usually change
their bindings, people will get confused if they have to type in another's
account.  (Which can happen when working on projects together.)
