Nelson Correia,

Thank you very much for your information, I will try my best to get rid of the 
bugs you mentioned, and resolve the rest problems in the coming version by 
enhancement.

And, some words to explain some problems item by item:
>
>Regarding the preview problem, the preview is now shown on the layer tree, but 
>it still doesn't appear on the "Style Properties" dialog. I hit the preview 
>button, but nothing happens.
about  preview problem, it is caused by the invalid path of layer data, if 
MSCompanion can not figure out where the data is, this problem could happen.  
You are encouraged to use the dialogs to set the paths of layers specifics, and 
save the result, problems should disapear next time you open the saved file.

I suggest you use absolute paths and save it, next time you may need not do 
that again. But I will try to repeat the problem and find a resolution.

Yes, that's a problem now, I will fix it.
>

>
Yes, it's true. Frankly I don't find a way to satisfy myself by now, as a 
compensation, you can use the scroll bar by the time.
>
>- The update button on the text editor became desabled when I click it and 
>then cancel the update.
>
I will test it.
>
>- The layers tree is not updated when I add a class/layer through the text 
>editor.

Yes, when you update the mapfile by text editor, you must reopen the file to 
view the changes on map.
>

Good suggestion, but in my mind it is a little difficult by now, I will 
consider that in the future versions. 
>

I got this from 
http://www.mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-45.html?highlight=rfc, but I 
don't know if it is implemented.

You are correct, I will do that.

Thanks again.

Best regards,
Enri
