Joey,

Thanks for the tip on the hold on !/, for the quote .

Additionally, if you are on the number or special character keyboard on the 
iPad or iPhone, holding the ' key will also give you access to the ` 
(backquote) character, which comes in handy when using @. as the backquote does 
not show up on any of the onscreen keyboards as its own key.

I also had no problems downloading jbeta 1.2 (1.15) and it runs fine. I like 
that the update does not affect files that I have already moved into the 
application using iTunes, so that I can pick up with those scripts right where 
I left off.

Cheers, bob
