Because it is shorter, there is no risk that it will interfere with the

plan to keep a smaller version (basically just the version Keith and I
are just finishing up...).

Of course you have to... The backup with GWiz has ZShell on it ;)

This has been mentioned before, and I'll make sure it's fixed in the next
release (if Keith hasn't seen to it already... ;)

Possibly... I think Keith has fixed this.
