I hadn't tried the earlier "more alpha that beta" versions Deron posted
in recent weeks. I just downloaded and extracted the May 19 version to
a new directory and ran it from there (no installation script because I
found none in the archive). My results:

- Icons in the navigator window that opens with the program are black
silhouettes instead of B&W line drawings. Same with icons on the main
program screen, e.g., next page/preceding page.

- Files created in the public release of PgS 4 open; vector graphics
seem to display OK, borderless text boxes show solid outlines, text
cannot be seen and appears not to be there: "select all" or drag
selection has no effect.

- I can't type or paste text into a new file, either artistic text or in
a text box. The insertion point just stays at the beginning position.

Yup. Known shortcoming. (listed in the Windows readme). I actually have
code that fixes it, but it crashes the computer about 1 out of 4 times. It
is a short few lines, and I have looked at it a hundred times and can't see
the problem. The call in Windows may be flawed (quite possible as it is a
newer call). I'm leaving it for a day when it seems obvious.

Text should be fixed in the new displaylibrary.

Same bug as above.
