Thanks to all the people who responded to my request about
upgrading to 5.5.  Here is a short summary:

- No problem in porting 4.0 programs to 5.5, but have to recompile
  units.
- Great editor.
- Built in debugger is a gift from heaven.
- support overlays again.
- object oriented programming.

So I think I shall upgrade my copy.  Thanks again.
