thanks, upgraded to v208, downloaded all the files and copied them into
collects/guibuilder. & have a "insert gui" option now.

after I add a frame, I cad add components to the frame, except I cannot add
lists, for i get the following error message:

set-rectangle in region<%>: cannot mutate region, because it is currently
installed as its dc's clipping region: #<struct:region%>

This then locks up drscheme. Is this happening because I copied the files
instead of installing via a .plt file, something else i'm doing, or just a
bug?


I'm assuming there are no docs, other then the 12 line doc.txt
"documentation".

That makes sence.  Thanks.
