I am not familiar with the building svn versions, but I may try that. However, I completed the job using the Story Editor without any problems, whatsoever. That lends credibility to my assertion that in-frame editing is the problem. So, since I have, and do, use the Story Editor in several past versions without any difficulties and a great deal of ease, I think I will stay with it and see if there is an RC2 that fixes the in-frame editing problem, or a stable 1.4.0 release that may do the same. But, iMO, RC1 falls somewhat short of a releasable new stable version. -- John Ghormley KJ4UFG Editor, SERA *Repeater Journal* Walkertown, NC 27051 USA editor at sera.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
