Another anomaly I've noted is that if the FB^3 Editor is open, longer
names in your Apple Menu will be clipped by a few characters and an
elipsis (...) added. As I write this in Eudora, the Apple Menu names
appear correctly; I have now switched to Netscape and they are still
fine; I am now in the FB^3 Editor and the name of a longer folder
alias has been shortened and an elipsis added. Doesn't seem to hurt
anything, but funky Finder behavior leaves me a little queezy.
