I'm using Mac and there's no right click and etc. I can make right  
click equivalent with Ctrl+Click but I cannot make shift+right click  
with shift + ctrl + click. This is my biggest problem. Maybe this is  
my fault?

Hmm, I cannot find 'x' for this box. But this is not that big problem  
anyway.

right-clicking on collection object is rather tricky. But this works  
great(again) !

Thanks again. Maui is very interesting. I think except some menu  
selecting problem(for me, Mac user) Maui is what I want to have.
