Yes. It also acquires menu buttons. There are some strange behaviours e.g.
output.p files sometimes being created mostly off screen, but I haven't
tried investigating, and I don't think that's new in this system.

Ah: a bit of the .csh version of the file that used the USEPOP file wasn't
copied over. My fault.

The point was intended to be that the USEPOP file could be copied anywhere
and then used in that way, but on reflection we can expect users to store
the path name of poplog_base. I'll get rid of it.

I agree: I've done that.
I've made a few other minor changes in the download and install mechanism.
But it's still all tentative and provisional.
