Kenneth, please don't scrap your patch. I honestly think its a good
road to hoe. Everything has been kind of shoe-horned into the setup
over time. I myself have gotten a little fustrated at times at having
to go through half a dozen screens to save one setting. Especially one
that is more of a tweak than set and forget type of setting.
Using some of JDS's feedback, what about a "Misc" option for some of the
screens? Conglomerate all the 1 - 2 entry items on to that page instead
of individualizing them?
Just a thought
