Based on Steven's comments, I propose that we
- replace the "Show active tasks" / "Show all tasks" botton with a checkbox
"[x] Show only active tasks
- Remove the word "Commands"
- Put "..." after Show graphics and Properties to indicate that they open a new
window.
- Group Show graphics and Properties (which show info)
separately from Suspend and Abort (which operate on the task).
- Enable Suspend and Resume if a group of tasks is selected
where some are suspended and some are not.

*Tasks* tab
· “Show active tasks” and “Show all tasks” have different contexts from the other
buttons in the “Commands” groupbox.
· “Show active tasks” and “Show all tasks” are different names for the same binary
switch. Some of the buttons in the “Commands” groupbox are switches, and some open
a new window, but they all look alike.
·“Commands” is programmer jargon.
· “Suspend” and “Resume” are disabled if a group of tasks are selected where at
least one task is suspended and at least one task is not suspended.
*Tools/Computing preferences* dialog
·“0 means no restriction” means also, “100 means totally restricted”. The only
restriction that is predictable is 50; 50.1 and 49.9 are ambiguous.
·“On multiprocessor systems …” could be a list of processors and an election of
which ones to use, instead of a percentage where 1%, 2%, and 33% mean the same
thing on a machine with 3 CPUs (I’m guessing; I don’t know, and I’m expert, and
I’ve looked it up on the message boards). Fixing this also solves an identified
task of allowing election of which CPUs are used.
