Agree.

Now I've got your point (I hope). But if you are correct, then I have to 
define for level-1, 3 different states:
1 CUR
2 CURIFSUB
3 ACTIFSUB(= CURIFSUB)

now i am using 2 (ACT/ ACTIFSUB). But if I need a difference between 
CURIFSUB and ACTIFSUB, I can do it with CURIFSUB.

It was bed time I believe. If CURIFSUB is available, I don't need the 
ACT menu. (got it).

no need for it anymore, I guess. (you are not a blockhead, but a litle 
bit smarter than I am)

I would not remove the ACT option in T3, some/most installations works 
on this principle, and have to reconfigure there sites.
I saw a patch for this in the dev-list in june 2004, but it was not 
implemented (don't know why). Maybe it's time to look at it again.

Thanks for lightning my brains too,
