I remember that several releases of Netscape (and perhaps SeaMonkey, though not on the Mac) had icons in the program folder to go straight to various tools (browser, e-mail, composer) rather than loading the program with the default starting tool. These "shortcuts" launch the same application, but they send some other message (via flags?) to trigger a different load than the default.

As you'll see, though, I'm kinda hesitant to call it a "review" series since the software's in such a dang early stage.<br/><br/>Since you help out on OOo, be sure to keep me honest, too!
