Not bad. Seems that for ms... you only have to contend with 7 or so (in my
project) other options popping up when typing ms<control-space> - none with mb,
ml, or md (mdiChild, actually). That takes care of the most often used ones.

We do, too. That's the one place where _ is ok with me.
Thanks for the advice. I may give that a try. Underscores can slow me down.
Interesting because I used to be a whiz at typing them thanks to PowerBuilder 5.
Ever single window HAD to begin with w_. Ya get pretty good at them after a
while.
