Mark,

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I'm taking the liberty of
replying to you via the new mailing list instead of the old.

       The above has been fixed in the CVS repository.
     
     
Thanks. That's good to hear.

Thinking back, most of my initial testing with 0.95.6 was done with the
0.95.5(?)  client.  That may be the "working" instance I recall.  (I'm
taking _much_ better notes now (;-)).

No, I do recall using 'drop x whatever (I don't know of any way to do a
"partial" drop with the mouse, but then, I'm still pretty much a novice
at this).

How do things go from here, release-wise? That is, will there be a 
"fixed" 0.95.6 release in the near future? Or will fixes simply be 
rolled into the CVS tree and some future snapshot released as 0.95.7 or 
something?
