I agree.

If you do it anyway, you must be sure that you don't do the "Netscape
mistake".
Netscap 4.7.x for Mac OS: When a JavaScript opens a window, you can't
press Cmd-W
to close it. Nor can you press Cmd-Q! This is **very** annoying.
This is a periodic thing. It sometimes happens with View Page Source as well.

If it was definately necessary, I would change the title of only *one* item.
The File menu should always stay the same, the Edit menu too, the Windows
menu as well.

Remember: You have the possibility of using submenus and contextual menus
as well.
You may want a Popup-button in each window, which does the things that
only belong to that window.


Love,
Jens
