Beginner mode always locked to a specific set, just like 'full mode' (in which you would get the whole set of menu items). But advanced modes can have a set of the most used menu items too. Maybe you could even have advanced modes based on typical type of use for, say, web designers, film editors, people working for print, et cetera. -- branko collin collin@xxxxxxxxx
