Buck,--
Excellent Point! It is up to them to learn RDI, if they want to learn it.
I hear all the excuses, such as "Only if RDI worked this way..." As if
I can control how Eclipse/RDi works...
I always appreciate your responses on this list...
I cannot change the Non-believers of RDI. It only leads to frustration
and game over.
If I run into a problem with RDI, a simply 10-second restart usually
fixes all. And it teaches me patience!
Thanks again.
PS. Thank goodness for snickers bars, they turn me back to normal over
little RDi quirks. That are make no sense in get my underwear in knot!
<LOL>
I have been able to convert a few, but they were extremely open and
willing to learn...

All the "Newbies" that I show "shortcut keys", don't like it.
I cannot seem to find the right-click menu options for ALT+S (split)
and/or Alt+J(Join)
I'm not a mouser, so if there ever were context options for that I
wouldn't know.
I'm no longer an RDi missionary. I don't go office to office loading
it, setting up connexions and filters, making a custom setup for each
'newbie'. I don't do lunch and learn sessions to show newbies the
myriad things RDi can do (like split/join) that SEU cannot do at all [1].
I gave that up.
Do you know why?
Because they like SEU. They actually like it. They tend to feel
embarrassed about it, and so they cobble together excuses as to why
they just _can't_ switch.
The 'shortcut keys hurt my brain' excuse is the one that ultimately
did me in. I mean, think about it: There's no power on earth that is
going to convince a man WHO USES SHORTCUT KEYS IN SEU to switch to RDi
when his insurmountable objection is -- get this -- that RDi USES SHORTCUT KEYS.
Game over man. Game over. Use SEU in peace. Truly, he's already
found enlightenment; he's in his happiest place already, and bless him
for being able to recognise it.
Very frustration to show newbies, and just have to say it is "buggy"
all the time...
<Big Frown>
You're not in marketing, are you? ;-)
[1] I know, I wrote a user-exit program that does split/join in SEU.
I'm comparing 'out of the box' SEU to 'out of the box' RDi.
