Mark,

Oops. I DID have an issue, but, after downloading the latest, latest
Beta, all is OK with the TV Listings and the TV Guide events. I can't
believe it! You are so good, you are fixing problems BEFORE beta testers
report them. Man! Do you ever get any sleep?

By the way, I REALLY like having the message line at the top of the new
-Guide and -Listing windows.

Jeff
