You may well be right, Steven. . . I'll have to wait and see.
But I *do* get along pretty well with the PM the way it is, and USERS have *never* asked me to make things "better" in that area, so I do remain skeptical.
As I said to someone else though, I will *probably* end up using *ALLL* the new features in some way.
Most critical to me now is the quality of the DOCUMENTATION. They have several months before release, so there is no reason why all of the shortcomings of the present docs cannot be properly addressed. This, combined with the ease-of-use features introduced in version 6, would make it a truly important release.

Cheers,
