It would be nice to have the toolbar disappear when not in use, and 
consistent with Apple HI, perhaps.  I like the toolbar.  I think it uses 
more space than it could.  But what an excellent application!!

Great job:  Adam, Todd, Terry and Phil!!

Adam, or whoever
I have indirectly found a security leak in HL, although I do not know
the exact way in which it happens. I was on a server, and a user(who
will remain nameless) was able to kill my connection to HL, now keep in
mind the user was not an admin. I asked how he did it the only info I
could get out of him was that he used quickkeys to do it and I also
think it had somthing to do with a private message. Now as a Admin on my
own server I wouldn't want to be bumped, or have others bumped. In this
same session, two users got into a script war which actually bombed my
computer. Now I know that  this might not be a security leak but it
seems as if it might become a problem.

	Thanks
	Fredly.
