I understand that sediment, but for the new user, things like "ipo" and

One finished tutorial about either of those features should solve that
naming problem

Is Grabber really so hard to memorize? And do you actually need to
memorize it? Or do you use Gkey and don't care after 2 afternoons of doing
tutorials ? Of course 'getting used' involves to use an application
frequently.

  The newbie is not supposed to find out what grabber means, the newbie is
supposed to learn it. So the case of you being a 'perpetual newbie' cannot
be the naming. What is the real reason?

If one has trouble of using 'Grabber', I recommend googling 'juicy blender'.

sorry
