Quite so. A particular problem is that at the moment one does not seem 
to be able to copy citations (placeholders etc.) from Papyrus into a 
Carbon or Cocoa application. At least I cannot. From what I've read on 
this list, this appears to be exactly analogous to the situation under 
Windows.

I love linking of references, notecards and the clever across-the-board 
changes to keywords -- all features that no other reference manager has, 
at least on the Mac side. I also love Papyrus for not being as 
Word-centric as Endnote and the rest of the ISI bunch.

Luckily, I am not pressed to change as there are no OS X-native 
bibliography managers at all. I certainly won't switch from a Classic 
application to another Classic application, and so -- for the time 
being -- I'll get by typing placeholders into my documents.

Cheers (and thanks for a great programme),

Klaus Beckmann
