12: text while scrolling in the window
13: . * errors with datex.db come back as file not exist messages
14: . * errors writing to the records dir could be more informative
15: about what isn't writable
16: & make the preview a vaild TeX/HTML file
17: & make it possible to answer all dialogs with keystrokes
18: + GUI......To include Tools/MCtools/Labeling/Units........
19: + ? On-line help?
