A while ago I posted a couple of notes on the 1.2 Beta 4 release
I received.  Although other commitments have not allowed me to play
around much I did find out one or two items.

The font editor gadgets were trashed due to the images being loaded
into FAST RAM.  Nice going guys.  Good to see the folks at Amiga can
make the same errors I consistantly do. 8^)


I mention the AnsiEcho left a 'detailPen' colored cursor block at the
end of any line that was not displayed in what the normal foreground/
background colors were.  Since that time the author of AnsiEcho pointed
out that the normal Amiga CLI Echo command accepts BCPL escapes(!). So
last night I checked it out. Sure 'nough.  Still get the cursor block at
the end of the lines.  So I suspect the console emulation, not the
AnsiEcho program, is... well.... hicupping.

Thanks to Dewi Williams for the Amiga Echo tips....
Sorry I thrashed the message from the person who pointed out the FAST RAM
mistake.... Thanks anyways... (I should have thought of it!!!)

More after a message from our sponsors........
