When I post a change like this it means that the code in the CVS 
repository changed and will be in the next release distribution. If you 
want to stay current with changes and test before the next release you 
need to work off of a copy of PythonCard from the SF CVS repository.

The next release is not scheduled until sometime in May, after I get 
back from the UK.
