2.1.2 not recommended

The advanced user interface, in 2.1.2, just got harder to use. I expect that Norm, being a real power user, will love it. All the helps have been removed, using a lot less vertical space.

This "advanced" interface is strictly a power user interface. And it will take some time before I can create another interface which extends the capabilities offered in the basic interface. So here's the plan...

I'm going to first rename the advanced interface to be the power interface. Then I'll introduce the master interface--this interface will not take too much time, as it is just the power interface with lots of helps. There will then be 4 interfaces: guest, basic, master and power.

Think of the master interface as training wheels for the power interface. Unfortunately, friendly interfaces like the basic interface take quite a bit of time to implement. So if you want to work with tags or extend namespaces, you are going to need to use the command line interface for a while.
