I saw this review last week, when searching with google. The author himself 
says that he has problems getting JMB actions to work. After some tries, he 
got it to work, so its basically a matter of practicing I think. The first 
time I tried to use JMB, it confused me to.

Probably, but < H > and < P M > are just working for a long time.

Indeed, I actually send him an email about it, he didn't respond though.
But from what I have seen on the internet, we need better and more 
documentation on the use of JMB. Kind of a learning tutorial for learning 
JMB, and maybe add some kind of help screen to Protux when it starts for the 
first time, pointing the user to help material to get used to the JMB stuff.
