Thanks for pointing these things out, Guy. It's been a long time since
v5.7 was released, and I'm still quite happy with it. None of the listed
improvements sound like anything I'm in desperate need of, so I'll just
hang loose awhile on updating to give them time to work out those bugs
you mention.

Thanks for pointing out. At least one bug seems a bit serious. I'll go
back to 5.7 for the time being.

Does not fix the multiple "No File Found" popup alert blunder, as usual.

After all these years; those negligent idiots.
