I am now uploading this beta (ready in 15 minutes).
Feedback welcome:

	4.2.009 (01/11/00)

   192)	Corrected problem with KEYBOARD-EVENT recognizing class names.

*  193)	Corrected mistake in the TV-GUIDE and TV-LISTINGS Events
	(see #194 below before making this change):

	THIS:
	|	; If user enters A, S, or V, append to TVLFAV.TXT:
	|	BEGINIF	Character-A		Is		A
	|	Or	Character-A		Is		a
	|	Or	Character-A		Is		S
	|	Or	Character-A		Is		s
	|	Or	Character-A		Is		V
	|	Or	Character-A		Is		v
	
	SHOULD BE THIS:
	|	; If user enters A, V, or R, append to TVLFAV.TXT:
	|	BEGINIF	Character-A		Is		A
	|	Or	Character-A		Is		a
	|	Or	Character-A		Is		V
	|	Or	Character-A		Is		v
	|	Or	Character-A		Is		R
	|	Or	Character-A		Is		r

*  194)	Added support for a TVL "F" code, so as to mark shows as
favorites
	in the TV-Guide Window withOUT announcing them. To support this
	feature, copy the TV-GUIDE/TV-LISTINGS Events and the
	"TVL6 FAVORITE MSG" Item from EXAMPLE.CFG to ECS.CFG.

   195)	Corrected problem whereby lower-case characters could not be
	specified as a State for CHARACTER Items in the Event-Editor.

*  196)	ECS.HTM/EXAMPLE.CFG now document/use the RADMIN shareware ($25
reg)
	to access the ECS PC via the internet, as it appears to be much
	faster and easier to use than the VNC freeware.
	To support RADMIN in ECS.CFG:
	     1)	Replace all VNC/WINVNC Items with the R_SERVER Items in
		EXAMPLE.CFG.
	     2)	Replace the WINVNC Event with the R_SERVER Event in
		EXAMPLE.CFG.
	     3)	Customize the POSTIE command in R_SERVER0.BAT as you did
		with the similar command in WINVNC0.BAT.

*  197)	SERIAL-BYTE and I/O-PORT-BYTE Items are now read when referenced
	(instead of at the start of each Event-Pass).

   198)	TVL setup/usage instructions have been moved from EXAMPLE.CFG
	to ECS.HTM (see "TV SHOWS").

   198)	The TV-GUIDE window now displays the codes (F/A/V/R) of
favorites
	the leftmost column (as read from TVLFAV.TXT).

*  199)	In EXAMPLE.CFG, I have increased the TV-GUIDE "look-ahead" from
	2 hours to 12 hours. If you wish to do so, set your TVL4.EXE
	Item's Text-Line as follows (12 hours = 720 minutes):
		TVL4 TVL.TXT TVLFAV.TXT 720 TV-Guide.TXT
	Note that this change will significantly increase the time it
	takes to run TVL4.EXE.

   200)	To mark/announce/view/record TV shows ONE TIME ONLY, you may now
	enter the same codes keys with <Ctrl> (<Ctrl-F>/<Ctrl-A</<Ctrl-V>/
	<Ctrl-R>). To incorporate this enhancement, replace your TV-GUIDE/
	TV-LISTING Events with those in EXAMPLE.CFG.
