I didnt say you sad it is improductive, I just afraid that using a 
"normal" UI, like OrCAD does, you need, for example, to enlarge a line
to select the line with button 1, click button 3, select the option, 
open a window, put how large you will, clock ok...   undertood? I 
just posted this message to say that IMHO is better let the program 
works as it is as to make it more "intuitive" as I pointed here, 
understand? Yeah, my english is a crap...
I agrre completely with you when you say to remold the PCB window and
sub menus. 
I use PCB 1,99j and I select the objetcs with a box... draggin the
middle button.
