Re: Document-based applications

["Michael T. Babcock" <mbabcock fibrespeed net>]

One requested feature for "this file has been modified" boxes; similar
functionality to what's available when overwriting files in some file managers
-- "This file was modified 6 hours ago.  Do you wish to save the changes?"  A
list of "what changes" could be made available via an "Undo" actions list if
one is already available as well since some programs (in Windows) consider a
file to be changed if it is simply printed.
