    How to? @select[] window size, redux.

    IMHO to convert screen positions from column/row to pixels is a nuisance. The precision is not needed!

    Done Please Fix Feedback

    I had the same problem - my email address rejected by Feedback. I traced it to Feedback not accepting mixed-case email address.

    SafeChars: Escaped version of @unsafe

    I think by "strong quote" you mean "backtick". Right guess?

    Apparently B49 is not yet available. When?

    More on IFTP

    I did not see the announcement for the new build's release date/time except a remark that it solves the issue of this thread.

    IFTP problems (broken pipe?)

    Some antivirus programs, including McAfee, default to blocking FTP. I spent two hours on the phone with McAfee support to find out what it takes to enable the RFC.

    Adding accelerator key for a program

    Back in Windows 3 there was a program which allowed adding accelerator keys which operated only in a specific window.

    GetBinaryType (Updated)

    Charles, I think you just want to reinvent Lotus Magellan 2.0. I'd love to have to have someone do it, too. (I still use its basic features to this day.) I was hoping that V does it, but alas, nobody seems interested. And I can understand it, too. The number of file types is unexhaustible...
