  • Esc and Undo as GEM has them: in a dialog, Esc empties the text field you are typing in and the dialog stays open; Undo (or the dialog window's close box) cancels. Esc still cancels a dialog without a text field, and an alert. A note of several lines never empties on Esc. Esc also empties the search field.
  • ^U closes the window (the program quits; the accessory's window closes). ^W, the next window, does nothing with EContact's one.
  • The menu: New contact and New group are in a new Contact menu, with Edit, Copy and Delete; the Edit menu is gone.
  • The dialogs' buttons are the system's own, drawn as every other program's are, flat or 3D. A pop-up opens over its button, with the current choice ticked.
  • The 3D dialogs setting is gone: dialogs take the 3D look wherever the Atari draws one.
  • The list's scroll bar is flat on TOS 4, like the window's own slider, and 3D under MagiC and XaAES.
  • The About box says the connection, the contacts and the memory in the family's words.
  • Help: under MiNT and MagiC, the viewer named by STGUIDE= is asked first, and started when it isn't running.
  • Under MiNT with BGEM.NG, Sync Contact Photos that ends while EContact's window is behind another program's says so as a notification, with Open.

Still over the family's times on a stock 8 MHz ST, as in 1.70: a key or a line in the list 135-175 ms (50), Settings and the editor opening 315 and 390 ms (150), the accessory's window 1.7 s (500). On a stock Falcon, a key in the list takes 65-150 ms (50) and the accessory's window 535 ms (500). Next: text drawn the fast way on the 8-pixel grid, the accessory's window drawn in parts as the program's now is, and photos decoded in steps.
