Re: Devin's effort

True, but as you say, with Mulberry I just copy and paste. I don't even have to save the source file - just open it long enough to copy. What I really wonder is why anybody would design a system that DIDN'T work this way. Copy/paste was one of the brilliant UI developments in the early days of GUI. Why block it?

I think the answer is that nearly all of our software engineers are graduated without ever learning how to design for someone besides themselves. And if Mulberry stops working, I dread being victim to that yet again.
