OTOH my problems entail a dozen files, hopefully mostly in the same directory [of THAT project]. I don't want to remember names, when mc allows me to just *recognise* <yes, gime that one>. Your pov is the delivery-van load of items. My pov is the clerk at his desk with 8 docos open, and 2 more just arrived. Once I've identified the doco, I don't want to remember it's name. It's just <the small green one>. Names/verbalising are for communication between-people. mc/visualisation is easier and more efficient for self-communication.
