I also think that we should keep the colors.  But fix the bugs ;-)

I like the "arbitrary" nature of the colors.  When writing tutorials, 
it adds a level of indirection, which is actually essential when you 
one is trying to write the tutorial in a platform-independent way.

I put colored labels on my mouse buttons, not so that I know which 
one to press, but so that when I'm writing directions for others, I 
write it right.  I bring labels into class too.  If someone is stuck 
with a one button mouse, then one can put the blue and yellow labels 
on the alt/option key and the clover leaf key!

Left middle and right clearly don't work, because most right-handed 
people now seem to prefer putting yellow on the right, and not in the 
middle.  And some left-handed people to the opposite.  1, 2, 3 
implies an order to me that may not exist.  Main, menu and halo are 
not bad, but imply that the meanings cannot be changed -- which of 
course is not true.

In describing how to use the paragraph editor, I also used the name 
"command key" to mean the clover-leaf key on a Macintosh keyboards 
and the alt key on IBM-PC keyboards, so that the wording in the 
tutorial are platform neutral.
