while we are on the subject of dvorak....
For those who don't know, dvorak is an alternate and superior keyboard layout than qwerty.
Qwerty
was actually designed to slow down the typist (solution to problem of early type writers
jamming) by
spreading commonly used keys away from the home row. The guy who invented dvorak, Dr.
Dvorak, spent
half his life or so doing it... It places most commonly used keys close to home and balances
load
between left and right hands equally. While debatable, I find it faster, more accurate,
and
definately more comfortable on my hands (all my hand pain from using keyboards went away
after
switching to dvorak). And you don't need to by new keyboard. Most OS's (including beos,
windows,
macos, amiga, etc...) have option built into setting to allow you to remap keyboard to
dvorak.
anyway, here is a dvorak url if anyone is interested :

It works really well with rebol...
(hey, if i was in a dvorak message board or qnx discussion board and the topic of programming
languages came up...I would definately give REBOL a plug!)
