Now the mystery is, why doesn't "Find" work? When I'm on this page -- even when I'm looking right at this passage -- I hit command-F to bring up the Find dialog, type in "object-oriented" (without the quotes) with "ignore case" and "wrap around" checked, and click Next, and Mathematica just beeps at me. Hmm, it does work if I search for just "oriented", though... Ugh, now I see the problem. I have to search for "object\[Hyphen]oriented". I can understand why it's like this, but it's still a nuisance -- I hope that eventually they can make a "-" in the find box match a minus, a hyphen, or a dash, as the naive user would expect.
