Thanks, HJ. Much luck on your little holiday. Be sure to check that there are no active volcanic eruptions near your destination :*)

Jeff,

Check your email for details on the shipment.
Despite the rain in the "Biggest State in the Union" it was a relaxing holiday. Went shopping in Skagway and bought what I looked at last year, but kept "umming and aahing". Since we now have been there twice I also bought two t-shirts.  :P :P Plus a few books on the WP&YR. ;) ;)

At Whitehorse they have the Klondike - last sternwheeler in service on the Yukon river - up on land right by the river. I got more than 90 pix of that. A whole bunch at the Yukon Transportation museum and and and. Video of the Whitehorse to Fraser bus ride and some on the train between Fraser and the border. Didn't really need any of the descent between the border and Skagway since I got good shots last year. However it would have been nice with sunshine and the flowers in bloom.

BTW one book is with colour pictures from the more recent era, two others are from the Olden Days. And I just had to get one on the paddlewheelers, too.
A "tourist" at the hotel in Whitehorse asked me why there were no pictures of the Goldrushers coming back down the pass to get the next load - 2000 lbs of provisions were required to cross the border - since they had to make several trips. Not one picture she complained, took me a few minutes to look at the six pictures in the lobby ... until I could say "Here they are!".  ;) ;) Half a slope to the South, out of the uphill traffic. Seemed quite logical to me, gentler grade and plenty of room.  ;)

Just goes to show you: Stupidity knows no nationality nor race B-). and a p.s. no sign of any email...the mules must be slowed down by the rain.

Yep. Check your email. My snail-mail has been slowed because the state is repaving the road out front and our mail carrier can get hung up in lines of traffic.

Oh gawd! I have to learn to type all over again! And on this great clunky mechanical keyboard...

Uh oh, the mouse is missing...good thing we don't let the cats in the house.

Why?  I never learned to type (I bet that's a shock after trying to figure out some of my posts, huh?  ;) ) and it hasn't slowed me down at all.  In fact it's been the start of some "interesting" exchanges in some of the more hostile fora on the intertubes.... ::)

Jeff

Ah. I was referring to "Typing as it is done by programmers" not "Typing as learned by secretaries". Besides which, they call it 'keyboarding' and send typewriters to the museum. :-P

Did we ever get a 'Line width' control? If not, why not??? I thought that would be done by version 5.0!

Yes, there is width control for lines (that's drawn lines and boxes - not railway lines) - you'd better go back to reading the manual again  ;D :P

RhB_HJ

Ver5 has so much stuff that we have been asking! You'd best load one of your problem layouts from ver4 and make all the improvements you were planning on.  ;) :D :D

Can't find the controls. And I did search the manual under 'line width'...
