Haiku might want to build something like "Run Program" right into the OS
someday. I do my daily work on the Mac and am crazy about Spotlight. I do
CTRL-space and just start typing, and it finds anything I want to run or
open. BFS (ok, HFS :-) has everything indexed already, so it's a step-ahead
in that game...seems like a natural!
