	I wish I could tell you that we have solved ALL of these wishes, but
we have not.  Of the five wishes you have, we have solved #4 and #5.  
	You will find that no ony are the estimated time more accurate (we
have also made then consistant so that all o the protocols use the same 
calculation routine). You will also find a new Graphical progress indicator 
for those times when you simply want to know the progress and not all the other
additional info. 
	The reason you were seeing a <CR>  in the dialogs and alerts was due to
our replacement of Chicago with our own chicago with the 'losanges' for <CR>,
etc.  We no longer preform this replacement in v3.0 (except locally in the
Script Editor where it is needed).
	I would like you to know that the other three were big issues of 
contention as to their place in v3.0 and unfortunately, they did not make it.  
They are, however, on the top of my list for future versions (if that helps).
