Shortcut is an init & cdev that makes a popup menu
accessible from every open file dialog. From this
menu, you can jump to frequently-used folders or
documents, do a search, all kinds of neat things.
It's definitely nice to have the functionality it
provides, the adherence to the Mac User Interface
is great, the online help is incredible, and it's
cheap.
A 10.
I hope they make some money from it before
Apple gets smart and integrates its features
into the OS, where they belong.

P.S. This is a superset of what the public domain
init "Boomerang" does. Being a commercial
product, maybe they took the trouble to
avoid a conflict with Radius screens.
Boomerang had a problem with Radiuses when
I tried it last Spring. Now I'm using on-board
IIci color, so I can't try it.rterry@hpcupt1.HP.COM (Ray Terry) (12/03/89)

Sure, Shortcut does a few things that Boomer doesn't do (e.g. Unstuffing files on the fly), but Boomer does most of what Shortcut does and it does them ALL much faster. And best of all it doesn't cost $50. It is FREE!! Check out 2.0b9 - the latest flavor of Boomerang. Ray
