        =================================================================
        BUG TITLE:  (#12342) VGA 50-line doesn't refresh properly upon 
        return from InSet
        
        MODULES CHANGED:  nwuserio.asm, nwprcon2.asm
        
        FIX DETAIL:  Added fclrscr call in finisub routine in 
        nwuserio.asm.  Removed a redundant mouse init call from insetm 
        routine in nwprcon2.asm.
        
        TESTING REQUIREMENTS:  Retest.
        
        BUG TITLE:  (#12374) Can't turn status line back on after turned 
        off in ^OB
        
        MODULES CHANGED: nwonsd2.asm
        
        FIX DETAIL:  Previous bug fix for dual window flag operation 
        neglected to save cx register around copying data to the other 
        windows' data area.  Now saves cx around this code.
        
        TESTING REQUIREMENTS:  Retest.
        
        BUG TITLE:  (#12388) Speller won't add "LARGE-LARGE" double word 
        to personal dictionary
        
        MODULES CHANGED: nwspellc.asm
        
        FIX DETAIL:  Changed chkdbl routine to only flag double words if 
        two words are identical and separated by a space or hard tab.
        
        TESTING REQUIREMENTS:  Retest.  Check double words around indent-
        ed paragraphs.  Check double words with one word at the end of 
        one paragraph and one at the beginning of another.






        
        CHANGE: New wsspl001.ovr and splmn001.dct
        
        MODULES CHANGED: wsspl001.ovr and splmn001.dct
        
        DETAIL: New 7.50 speller and dictionary from Microlytics.
        
        TESTING REQUIREMENTS:  Test speller fully.  Speed with upper case 
        words and large personal dictionary has increased dramatically, 
        although it is still a little slower than checking solely lower 
        case words.  High hopes for this one!

Titles of Bugs Fixed/Changes Made:

* (12419) MOUSE--CLICKING IN <OK> FROM FILE FIELD IS BROKEN

Summaries of Fixes/Changes:

==============================================================
BUG TITLE:  (12419) MOUSE--CLICKING IN <OK> FROM FILE FIELD IS BROKEN

FIX  DETAIL:  if a mouse action has been enqueued during the  file  field 
validation, don't kill it.

               MODULE CHANGED:     NWMOUSE.ASM


TESTING  REQUIREMENTS:

the fix should only impact mousing in dialog boxes.  ensure that  mousing 
in  dialog  boxes is otherwise unaffected.  try dragging  from  field  to 
field.   try  clicking on a field of one type while the cursor  is  on  a 
field  of  another  type.  try keeping the pointer in  a  pushbutton  and 
dragging around in and around it.

        Bugs Fixed / Features Added
        
        #12292    Appears constantly in title bar if status line filler..
        #12165    Record annotation in columns and play back w/o gives..
        #12191    Ending macro record. in some dialog boxes is fatal
        #12317    Strange footnote formatting with suppressed blanks
        
        =============
        
             Modules changed:    NWTEXT4.ASM, NWSCRN2.ASM
                                 NWOPEN3.ASM, NWMEM1.ASM, NWOPEN6.ASM
        
        
        #12292    Appears constantly in title bar if status line filler..
        
        Change stfill in WSCHANGE. Make doc and nondoc setting different.
        Check also with no change.
        
        
        #12191    Ending macro record. in some dialog boxes is fatal
        
        Check aborting macros and stop recording at different contexts in 
        WS e.g. in dialog boxes at opening menu..
        
        
        #12317    Strange footnote formatting with suppressed blanks
        
        Check files with footnotes (running notes) with and without .sb 
        set.  This area is still not completely correct but check the 
        specific problems with user files. (mary V and Kevin has some of 
        these)
        
        #12165    Record annotation in columns and play back w/o gives..
        
        This doesn't give any garbage now.  The problem described about 
        annotations working differentlt to footnotes is because there is 
        an extra dialog box fro annotations.

Titles of Bugs Fixed/Changes Made:

* 12396 NORMAL FONT MENU SHOWS "MENU XX OF XX" ....
* 12397 NORMAL FONT MENU WON'T FIND PDFS IF NOT IN ....
* 11950 MONO MONITOR CURSOR AT MID-MATRIX WITH WINSTALL ....



Summaries of Fixes/Changes:

=================================================================
BUG TITLE:    12397 NORMAL FONT MENU WON'T FIND PDFS IF NOT 
IN ....

FIX  DETAIL:    Use standard routine to accept drive/directory 
spec. from user then concatenate the default printer to the 
string for using.


MODULES CHANGED:    NSLIB.ASM

TESTING  REQUIREMENTS:    Rename default printer. Choose a normal 
font, enter drive & dir spec. Don't enter PDF name - just the 
drive and dir spec.


=================================================================
BUG TITLE:  12396 NORMAL FONT MENU SHOWS "MENU XX OF XX" ....

FIX  DETAIL:    Assign DS register with correct value to find 
string to display.


MODULES CHANGED:    NSLIB.ASM

TESTING  REQUIREMENTS:    Install default PDF with over 30 fonts. 
This will require a multi-page font list to choose from. Note the 
"Menu xx of xx" will have digits instead of 'xx'.








=================================================================
BUG TITLE:  11950 MONO MONITOR CURSOR AT MID-MATRIX WITH 
WINSTALL ....

FIX  DETAIL:   Attach cursor size when assigning monochrome moni-
tor (default, not alternate.). This is both in WINSTALL and 
WSCHANGE. In INSTALL.C, add cursiz_table and use it in set_co-
lour() to patch CURSIZ. Add patching flag to CURSIZ in section 
that patches VCOLOR with default monochrome attributes. I 
assigned thin cursor for insert, thick cursor for over type and 
thin cursor on exit of WordStar.


MODULES CHANGED:    INSTALL.C, NS1.FLG.

TESTING  REQUIREMENTS:   Choose Default monochrome (underlining 
type) in either WINSTALL & WSCHANGE. Note correct cursor.


=================================================================
CHANGE:  ADD USER AREA LABELS TO WSCHANGE. NO MENU CHANGE BUT AC-
CESSED VIA HEX. PATH IS E, =.


FIX  DETAIL:   Add LABELS FUNLBL, U1FKEY, U2FKEY, XMSMEM.


MODULES CHANGED:    EXTUSER.INC, NSLABEL.ASM

TESTING  REQUIREMENTS:   At Main WSCHANGE Menu, choose patching 
menu (option E), then =. Enter the above listed labels.

	HP-ENV.LST
	HP2-ENV.LST
	WS.ICO
	WSCG.EXE

All of the above which were installed in the SETUP sub-directory are now put
in the main WordStar program directory.  These files are no longer copied to
the user's home WordStar directory by USRSETUP.BAT any more.


MODULES CHANGED:    AUTOFILE.C & USRSETUP.BAT


TESTING  REQUIREMENTS:   Confirm correct location and operation of the files
listed above.
