Thanks to those who responded about my issue with Rootsmagic. I have
contacted them explaining the issues, and copying Chip's message.
Hopefully I will hear back from them, and will get a positive response.

Hi Melissa,
If this software tries to draw graphical trees of your family for you, it's
unlikely an app will be able to do anything. The only time an app might be
able to deal with such a graphical program would be if they offered a COM
automation interface to their program, so that another program could
interface with Roots Magic and determine what information it had, and was
displaying on the screen. You could take this email and forward it on to
their sales team, and ask them if this is something Roots Magic offers.
hth,
Chip

Subject: RootsMagic--would an app help?
I'm working on my genealogy, and am very interested in using
Rootsmagic 5. They have a free and paid version, so I
downloaded the free version.
Once I get in to the program, I just hear custom control, and
when pressing the alt key to bring up the menu nothing
appears to happen. I can sort of use the mouse to look around
the window, but it appears to have some focus issues. Would
anyone be interested in downloading the free version, and
seeing if an app could fix the issues? the web site is
http://www.rootsmagic.com/ . This is supposed to be the best
family tree software available. I've tried a couple of
others, and they work to a certain extent, but they don't
have some of the features that Rootsmagic does. This message
should probably go to the apps list, but I'm not currently a
member of that list.
Thanks for any help.
