Gee, ya think? ;)

What you have here is a great program with a horrible
GUI. Your company should be able to plainly see that.
I suggest you take someone else's advice and document
it as it stands... "The third field below the first
list box just to the right of the address button..."

This could be your chance to actually add input into
what these things should be named...
