Jim, you have cottoned onto the Verb/Noun structure of the commands haven't
you ? And you do know that you can GO CMDXXX where XXX is a valid command
noun or verb ? I think there is also a variation on this that allows you to
enter XXX on the command line and press a command key to obtain a generic
list of commands.

Like the Command entry display the command grouping menus are some of the
things I am still attached to from the 38. I learned more from the command
grouping menus than just about anything else (except people) on the 38.

Cheers
Evan Harris
