Well, I hope this gets addressed pretty quickly no matter how they decide to
fit it into their release plans. KnowingKen, it's probably fixed already.
:-)  But you make it sound a little like FP Tech might take a little
advantage of something like this and put it in a money-type upgrade.  You
know that has _never_ been their way. And you also know that fixes of an
important kind (and even lesser more trivial ones) come out from FP Tech one
hell of a lot faster than _any_ other software company out there. Those
companies that sell software for money that is.  So I'll take your wager.
:-)  My bet is even if their plans were to go to a 5.1 release next, a
5.0.14 will probably happen first just to include this and some other small
but necessary changes. I'm kind of hoping that happens like you are. I'm
guessing, but pretty sure that the next big release will include the "memo
printing" feature, so they may hold that for a 5.1... certainly not a 6.0.
In 6.0, I want the world. :-)

The wager... how about the laptop you won at the FP Conference?? You put
that up and I'll put up my $.02 as usual. :-)
