It's very annoying indeed (he said, after adding 300 AS-User messages to his
FM list archive. ;)
The 'go to' seems to be quickest way to utilize the references given by
'databases' to get a window frontmost. (But I repeat.)
I have _heard_ that FM7 fixes 'whose' and addresses the issue of failing to
handle 'database...' direct reference. We'll see.
