Thank you Lusil.  I appreciate you passing the suggestion/request along to the develpers.  Although I have seen that they've already received a lot of that same feedback for years - mostly from Mac owners who have major issues with it - so I'm not sure it will do any good.  But thank you anyway.   It's always nice to try to spare somebody else from having problems. 

Have a great day, Lusil!
