This reminds me of one more thing... Let me know what platform you are
running on. In general, I assume that most features will work the same on
all platforms. However, there may be exceptions -- the the debugger.

Since I'm a Windows user, I might need help checking out a feature or two o=
n
the other platforms to confirm that they work as expected, so it'd be nice
to know who to ask.

Thanks,
Curt
