Although I have not worked as much with the system as the rest of you,
I believe that it would be useful to have an intro screen or splash
item that instructs one to pull down the appropriate menu (Options, or
whatever) to learn of the possibilities of searching other than the
ones that immediately show up with the death's head, etc.  Maybe this
is a Windows problem, but something parallel to what Advance provides
in the Main Menu (keyword vs. browse, additional, etc.) would be nice.

Echo on the windows for each record.  It's not intuitive how to croak
all that and move on.  If users don't get everything about simple
Marcive, how will they fare here?
