(6) Dropdown buttons
I don't what's the real name of this, but by 'dropdown buttons'
I mean buttons which drop down a list of options when you click
on them (or rather when you click on the *arrow part* of them).
Examples are the Undo and Colour buttions in MS Word 97. These
are fast and easy to use (but of course the feature must be
available by menus/dialogues too).
