All that you said about the interface for Rebel, I agree with it also. I
downloaded it a while ago and found it to be very lacking in interfeace
features, and the main reason I got rid of it was because I could not get the
board to look anywhere near the way I like it. So I just said for about 5 meg,
stuff this and deleted it on ther same day :-(

Pity that Ed cannot put his current setup into a windows environment, cause that
would be perfect and make it one of the most sort after programs on my list.

I think a big mistake, find a better interface.
