Added some code to expand optional pronunciations ( /(')wich/ => /'wich/ & /wich/ ) which increases the number of (unique) homophone sets by ~ 10%. Thanks for all the interesting letters! MOTD: Finally fixed the MOTD window so that it comes up as the key window when used as a LoginHook so you can cancel it with just a . Added a preference that can be set to force the window to display the motd file every time and ignore the code to check if the file has already been seen. ShellPanel: Added a new 'Menu' command that provides a wrapper around a NextStep menu as requested by Erik Hennum. Comments on this are welcome. - Christopher -------
