I see JVERSION has been updated to provide more info in the latest scripts on 
JAL. I'd like to encourage posters to report the result of JVERSION when 
posting issues/queries regarding the beta.

   JVERSION
Engine: j701/beta/2010-03-31/11:40
Library: 7.01.008
Platform: Win 32
Installer: j701 beta
InstallPath: c:/users/ric/j701

Here are a few minor GtkIDE issues to be worked out:

* Input log - font should be fixed-width (ideally same as session).

* Term window doesn't honour setting for BoxForm in ~config/base.cfg (always 
uses Ascii symbols on startup).

* If use Edit|Configure|<script> the Edit window will in some circumstances 
(similar to previously reported) open with the last project open, even if it 
was explicitly closed.

* Better error handling/message required when try to use Help|<menu item> and 
there are no help files installed. Point the user to install help (once addon 
available), in the meantime point to online help, with the caveat that it has 
not been updated for j701?

* Package Manager: My preference would be for the "Install" button to be 
above/before the "Remove" button in the bottom left corner of the window.
