Actually, in earlier alphas, I had the labels below the icons (as in
the messages tab).  I removed it temporarily because it stretched the
station callsign box to be big and ugly.  I want to move back to the
labeled toolbar items when I figure out a better way to orient the
station box.

You're just yanking my chain, right?  Since just before b1 (I think),
I've had a nice little "enter remote station" ghost hint thing in
there.  I specifically added that because you said you weren't sure
what to do.  I guess you haven't looked back in there since.  Maybe I
should prefix it with a big red blinking "NATE:" or something :P
