I agree, some programs have commands, menus and dialogs that "make sense", =
while others are very convoluted and weird.

Once I tried PADS Layout because our Korean partners use it, but I found it=
 awful, confusing keyboard shortcuts, too few menu options, unrelated funct=
ions mixed in dialog boxes, etc.

I surely would prefer to use the old Tango for DOS instead, If I had a PC t=
o run it correctly.
