Actually, I next to no experience with property dialogs under win/dos.
My experience with these beasties mostly comes from running netscape under
linux....
(At least, that's the place I remember best.... Or where I learned it I
suppose.  After you've learned it, you forget that it exists in a way.  Which
is why changing that seems vaguely disquieting, I suppose.  I know with my
head what the things do, but I am having to consciously think/associate them
whereas before it was second nature.

It is harder to unlearn habits than to learn them the first time.)
