- Well I don't this is quite all. Surely the answer is to write to Aldus and
- tell them you find this behavior unaccpetable and want a switch so you can
- turn it off. If they don't know you dislike this behavior, nothing will
- ever change, and complaining to the net will not affect them. Anyway it's
- worth a shot.
