Well said, TheDo.  And you're right, I could work around this using
the Terminal, but I've come to love the GUI (and having grown up on
DOS and swearing as a kid that I'd *never* use a GUI, that says a
lot :) and Versions specifically.

For what it's worth, the other well-made OS X SVN client that I was
evaluating Versions against still supports PPC (though 10.5 is
required).  Depending on Sofa's response, I guess that's my
alternative -- at least, until they drop PPC support too :/
