Thorsten - thanks for the new beta.

I find that the last thing I reported to this list:

- is still present. Is this an intentional departure from Mac
practice, or a bug? My copy of GraphicConverter (5.9.5) works the way
I'd expect, with new items added at the top of the list.

Environment:
Ti PowerBook G4, 1GHz, 1GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.11

Thorsten - the pop-up menu (at bottom right of the drawing wndow) to
bring up previous keyboard entries of co-ordinates, etc is not
working. I think I noticed this earlier and forgot to report it, so
it is probably not specific to this beta.

Thorsten - I am sending an attachment file separately, direct to your
address .

As regards switching between UB & X, I documented the effects of the
various versions a couple of months ago on this forum, and reproduce
that here now:

I have now installed in my applications folder:

CADintosh 5.5.3 (creation date 2007-03-16)
CADintosh 6X (creation date 2008-04-07)
CADintosh 6 UB (creation date 2008-06-07)
CADintosh 6.1 beta (creation date 2009-03-18)
CADintosh 6.1.1b0UB (creation date 2009-05-28)

The dates are probably when I downloaded/installed them, rather than
your compilation dates, but they help to get things in chronological
order.

I generally use the latest version available (as long as it is
reasonable stable), but keep the older ones installed in case I have
to go back.
