FWIW, the loader worked out nicely. It is cleaner
than a script would be, and MC handles the newlines correctly, at least going
back to 09.07.2.

Hopefully somebody
can point out something simple that will fix everything, but I'm to the point of
declaring my move into 09.09.3 a failure. It was worth the effort because
it forced me to clean up some packaging and revisit my load scripts. I
figured out that when my image began to complain that the changes file was
nearly too big, it was was doing so not because it was almost done
loading my relatively modest amount of code, but it was because I had
loaded it part way through many times, fixing bugs and accumulating
LOTS of changes along the way - no problem.
Since I cannot seem
to copy and paste between 09.07.2 and 09.09.3 (they treat newlines differently),
I thought to make yet another loader (my own) that will appear as a package with
one class and a few methods to do my loading using whatever wins (installer,
script loader, gofer, etc.) or a mix of them. Hopefully I can load that in
either version, the code will look right, and the "script" will
work.
In working on the
loader, my image appeared to go crazy. I was picking up things by halos
when I had not intended to do so, the menus didn't look right; it was a
mess. I wondered whether my new laptop had a busted/stuck control or alt
key, and then noticed that the cap lock was on. Is there any reason the
menus get weird when the cap lock is set? It seems like a nice
way to drive off new users unless I'm missing the big picture
somewhere.
