Re: [orca-list] Your thoughts on item position and count in menus?

[Al Sten-Clanton <albert e sten_clanton verizon net>]

From what you write, I think Orca's current approach is the more 
useful.  That opinion might change if there is some advantages to the 
subgrouping, especially if things are added to the ones that presently 
have just one item, but maybe not even then.  Thanks for considering.
