I see. What you have run into then, is an issue of presumed expectations. That's a tricky and unsatisfying habit. It means that, ultimately, any program you ever deal with will be, to some extent, displeasing. It would be comparative to my walking into a call center or a restaurant and looking at how they operate. No matter what they do or how they do it, I will always see things therein tht are done poorly, improperly, or without regard to the nature of the business in the manner in which I see it. For this reason, I do not dine out very often, and there are exceedingly few call centers that have my number on their dial logs. You, however, do not have that option available to you -- unless, that is, you were to put effort into writing your own program. Which might be fruitful, and then again might not be. The methods by which Poser and D|S work are very different, and the approach that each company has taken to creating them is differnt as well. Neither are likely to change their methodology in the near term. "Common Sense" is a mythical creation that varies between location and individual -- there is no universal common sense. I will refrain (this once, I'm feeling strangely benevolent) from noting the inherent flaws in your programming worldview. As a side note, I am not a fan of tree structures -- they hamper my workflow. Evidence, perhaps, of not being able to please all the people all the time...
