No problem Robert, thanks for considering it.

Two questions:

1. What's your (developers') opinion on ticket #8328?
2. I get your points on the "number button" and generic stuff you 
mention above. I have a number of patches from 0.21 with this type of 
logic that I'm now porting to trunk.  Is there any preferred way of 
attaching a hotkey to these menu options?

Thanks,
Bill
