screens other than 0-9 (was: Re: Windows 2003/IIS6issues...newand improved ones.)

[Brian K. White]

Mark has one point actually about inconsistency,
define screens lets you browse all screens, but of course define screens is 
not a comparison since it's a developer-only util.

Users can however browse full lists of forms and browses and selection sets.
By rights those should all be limited.
There are ways to hide or limit some of those now but by default, if they 
show at all, they all show.

I think you should think about it like this Mark:
Just as no one worries that if you don't specify a file, you get to select 
from among all files, which is bad in a real app.
In the simple early do-it-yourself quasi-apps where filepro was born, that 
was fine.
But now that we write ostensibly real apps in fp, you simply always specify 
a file in an end user's interface to an app.
So it is with screens. The 0-9 popup menu is just an old interface that 
these days no one should use much any more, but, there is also no special 
reason to take it out.

Hmm... now that I say that... I just argued Marks point and now I agree with 
him.
If the screens popup should be thought of and treated like the file list, a 
developer only thing, then it's back to Marks point making more sense, and 
all screens should show.

That was interesting.
