In my reaction to this email I referred to SELECT as well (although I
did put a (MENU?) somewhere) but I meant teh MENU button as well. I
agree with you completely that SELECT should perform a context related
default action while MENU should show a choice of actions.

Exactly, it's that level of consistency that I think would make Myth
even greater than it already is :-)
