Thanks for those replies.  So is the '58 beta' the version to
download?  Or should I wait for the new version philostein mentioned?

I also noticed the following from a poster at MacUpdate (post is a
year old):

"B57 is very stable for me, no crashes, only the dropdown hangs once
in a while and takes a minute to recover.
B58, unfortunately, crashes all the time on my machine (Macbook C2D,
10.6.2), for now I will stick to B57."

Also, what documentation should I be looking for to start working with
QS?
