EMS would be a similar to the MMD?! On the issue konnekta 
nothing to say - cool. He has appeared in almost all (though in 
2400 I had the terminal is not worked). In general prog strong 
but rulitsya hotkeys those who do not have a mouse - complete 
nonsense! I would like to Next Version add support, at least,

free beer:)
