Hi Bill,
I just downloaded your latest patch. Some observations:
1). Help About still shows revision date of 6 December. Your download is
smaller because it didn't include the help files. Identical revision numbers
now don't necessarily act identically.
2). It's very useful to sort on column headings in table lists. I noticed,
however, that negative magnitudes appear next to the dimmest stars of the
table when I
asked for a table of all stars down to mag 4. For example, Sirius always
appears next to the dimmest mag 4 star in the table.
3). Any chance the info in a table of "Create star list" could include
sortable columns of common names, Beyer designations, Flamsteed numbers, etc.
(maybe depending on whether the preference has been set to show common names
etc. on the display)?
4). It would be useful to edit only a selected part of a table by dragging
the cursor over the area of interest, then pressing Ctrl-C. Instead, it's
necessary to use the "Edit" menu item to get the entire screen into the
clipboard. This is true of other parts of your Help displays. Is this style
of "editing" likely to change in a future release?
It never ends, does it?
Thanks again for a great product!
