Thanks Jerry. However, in view of the fact that I am moving from Windows
to Linux (hopefully never to return), the supplements would be of much
greater interest if they were also available for Linux. This would also
be better in line with RR itself which is supposedly a truly
"cross-platform" product.

When I first saw the above question, I got all welled up with
emotion, and a thousand ideas invaded my mind. I nearly decided that
I would prefer to pay attention to my programming tasks, but I found
the question impossible to ignor.
Someone on the List put it fairly succinctly the other day:
RR is potentially a wonderful programming system, so why do they
insist on spoiling it all the time?
But it's a simple question which deserves a simple answer. Here's mine:
The Transcript programming language is great, but
THE IDE SIMPLY ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH.
Although I can think of many justifications for this view, I won't
bore anyone by listing them here at this time.
The IDE is RR's shop window, and if it continues to be so incredibly
AMATEUR, it will never pull in significant numbers of clients. In my
view, this is NOT primarily a question of PR as some would have it,
but a question of PRODUCT HYGIENE. How can anyone hope to sell a
marvellous programming system with an IDE as flawed and unsupportive
as that?
Now that I have been suitably provocative, I will retire back into
the wings and get on with my programming - if you will let me.
Best regards,
Bob
