>Michel, can you consider my feeling that it is somewhat hidden and that a dedicated button in the toolbar might increase its exposure?!

The same could apply for everything else. We have a tons of content out of the messages area.

The messages area toolbar is only dedicated to the messages area at the exception of a choice of putting a home page button.

Also, such content only relies on one specific technology, which is VFP. Thus, it wouldn't also fit well in there.
