Thanks!

| Have you given any thought to changing the functionality slightly?

I have.  Just trying to take changes in manageable chunks, rather than
throwing too much on people at one time.

I do agree that this is redundant, and you're right, some kind of change
is in order.  I'm just not sure an onclick is the best way to handle
this.  I'll explain more when replying to Chris Hertel's followup mail.

I think it's nice to keep the Status info separate from Share/Printer
info.  For example, the page would get really long, if opening editing
forms below the status forms.  But that's just my feeling that it's more
user-friendly as it is.  If others feel differently, I'm open to
suggestions.

| Keep up the good work!

Thanks!  And thanks for the feedback.

Cheers,
