Thanks. Glad to know that a 486-50 is fast enough to run it; we've
cheated and used 90 MHz Pentiums.

I doubt it's the same problem, but perhaps it is. I won't look into
this bug until after Executor 2 is out, but the Stuffit problem is
fixed in 1.99p6, so feel free to give that a try. I did log this bug
though.

I fixed a bunch of keymapping problems in 1.99p6, but the
telde/backtick key wasn't one of them. I'll make this a critical/high
problem and look into it fairly soon. Let me know if you find it
fixed in 1.99p6.
