I'm not quite clear what you mean about rejecting, David. Could you explain a 
bit further where you're getting that?

As I understand it, however, what I'm proposing wouldn't reject anything (OK, 
I guess if you chose "Cancel" below). Manila would ask you if you want to 
replace an already-existing shortcut. Or maybe - and this would be even 
slicker - it would ask if you wanted to replace, OR give you a textbox to 
change the one you were trying to add. Like this:

<EXAMPLE>

A shortcut already exists with the name "shortcutname".

__ Replace the existing shortcut

__ Use a different shortcut name: ___________________

__ Cancel

</EXAMPLE>

So how 'bout it, Userland? 

Tks!

Scott
