:A recent call to the Amiga WP Hotline netted the following tidbits:
:1. A maintenance update, 4.1.12, is due out the beginning of November.
:   The draw seems to be a new improved status line which will tell the
:   user which codes are before, under, and after the cursor WITHOUT
:   having to do the Alt-F3 shuffle.

	Sounds good, although six weeks ago it was going to be released
in October. :-)

:2. It was guestimated that a 5.0.x version with graphics would require
:   a system to have 2 megs of memory.  Programmers want the new version
:   and Management needs to realize the demand.  Interested?  A list is
:   in the making, get your vote in to the Hotline.

	Mine already is... Maybe it's time to bug them again...

:Now, my concern is this.  I've got an A500 with A501 expansion.  What
:   would be the best way to upgrade to 2 megs?  I'm not holding my
:   breath on 5.0.x, but I would still like to know.

	Buy one of the many hard disk controllers that allow to expand
memory within them. That's by far the best way to add more memory to
your Amiga. And you can add a hard disk at the same time! :-)
