Having used both BlackBox, V4 and S3 over the years
I like both.  I do still feel there's an advantage
to the interclicking scheme once you get used to it,
but it's not a big deal.  Anyway PlugIn Oberon S3
gives you a choice.  Fernando could move the XOberon
subsystem over to plugin Oberon.

But I wouldn't recommend tackling that before
getting past his current deadline.  Also there
are some programs that are "hardcoded" for using
the middle mouse button (like Leonardo) so if
you use Plugin Oberon in two button mouse mode
such programs don't work correctly.
