Well those who can read have a clear advantage. (Ok, I have my doubts
about the correctness of Darwinism from time to time.)

I added this, code is in cvs. It just never occured to me as a problem
as I read the manual and knew about ! !? and so on as well as the
comment editor. The first thing I do with new programs is to walk trough
the menus to see what might be hidden there, even if I don't understand
at the moment what they are meant for. Just for the "ah, I read
something like that"-effect.

It has. "(Un)Delete this game". Its a toggle switch and this makes
perfect sense to me.

Don't get this one. Do you mean to just move the column to the left by
default? That seems easy enough, though I'm not sure if this column is
really placed well left to the numbering or somewhere in between. To me
it makes more sense at the flag level more to the right.

I disagree this doesn't make much sense. Joe User should think about
compacting data. There he destroys stuff and there can be no undo at
all. This shouldn't be to simple. And if it takes him to read the manual.
