Correct, and we have run into this "image" problem for a while now.<br>
<br>
I think the most important improvements are:<br>
<br>
1. to swap the teachpack menus for 2e and 1e<br>
2. to increase the titles of all three panes so that it becomes clear what you are dealing with<br>
<br>
Eventually the pane for 1e should become something "almost hidden"<br>
but we are not there yet.<br>

p.s. And yes, it would be nice if the window had a title such as "add teachpacks"<br>
