I think the initial text in the JMB info area could be more 'flashier' or 
maybe blinking, for example to attract the attention of the user and the help 
text should give a VERY short introduction of how to load a clip and start 
play back.
also maybe it should be revised if <PM> is a good choice, since one of the 
first operations of new users is to load a clip into protux and this should 
be done as easy as possible by a one-key-action IMHO. RFC
