Mike, I do not want to move the mouse around on the large screen just 
to get an information which should be somewhere visible already. Often 
I have this situation:

- In FM i have two files open, both named A, but from different paths 
(1 and 2)
- I copy something from another application and want to insert this 
into A1
- I switch over to FM-9 (ALT+TAB). With CTRL+TAB I can switch between 
the two open files
  in FM, but which is which?
- There is a chance of 50% to paste into the wrong file - or I must 
resort to mousing.
  If I'm lucky I see the cursor blinking in the active doc-window and 
remember, that
  this was the place where I left FM.

In the classic Windows interface until FM-8 this no issue at all.

How can this mousing be compatible to the requirement of 
"accessability" - which is a legally pressed requirement in the US 
(sorry, for me it is difficult to understand some legal things in the 
US)?
