Good point. I agree.

(Although now I'm wondering whether there should be a separate OS 
function, with the "platform" becoming simplified -- Mac, Windows, or 
Unix -- and the "OS" being more specific, e.g. "OSX" or "Classic" or 
"MacOS", "Win95" or "Win2000" or "WinXP", or the various Unix 
flavors, etc. Stop me before I rewrite syntax again! ;-)
