I see the problem, but the different styles serve as a cue to the=20
student to know whether it's a single or multiple answer question.=20
(Although it's true the professor could write "Please select all that=20
apply." for each multiple answer question.) I'd like to know what=20
others think about this. If the sudden change is confusing to the=20
course author, I think the better approach is to add an option=20
specifying whether or not the student can select multiple answers for=20
each question.

Or, what may be the best solution is for me to document this behavior=20
and add a couple screenshots so it doesn't freak anyone else out. ;-)

And once more... Fixed. I've posted a new binary with all of these=20
fixes at the usual place:
