I can't compile:

Error   : undefined identifier 'StProfileSection'
CScribiaDoc.cp line 641   StProfileSection 
theProfile("\pScribia.prof", 32000, 32000);

Error   : undefined identifier 'ClearTable'
CScribiaDoc.cp line 847   theTable->ClearTable();

Also, I noticed a scrolling/resizing drawing bug in the money pane (I 
think) - maybe that's already fixed with your latest round of updates 
though.

Yes, we can, and it isn't even hard. I'll put it in sometime this 
week when I'm less busy.

This is hard, because for older karma messages, figuring out where 
the exile name ends and where the explanation begins is hard (= 
expensive in terms of cycles).

Yes - someone send me the log strings! :-)

Excellent idea! Build-your-own view.

This sounds like a good project for someone looking to get their feet 
wet with the code :-)
