It seems I have some strange problem... I did follow your directions, but no matter what I select from the drop down menu of the dialog, only revision 1 is viewable. I have also tried changing the "before"/"after" and "date"/"revision" drop- down boxes. It will not display any other revisions for me to compare with.
I feel this may be a problem with Beanstalk rather than Versions since I deleted the app support and pref files aw well as did a clean check out. After our dialog, I feel fairly certain that I am experiencing abnormal behavior instead of me just not understanding some basic functionality. I will also check beanstalk to see if others have had similar issues. Again, thanks for our help and explanations.
