[GRASSLIST:10126] RE: updates to gism2 - Feb2, 2006

[C. H. Roosevelt]

Hi again,

Thank you again for the most recent fixes!

I can verify Eric's errors 1-3 regarding workspace resource files,  
again working on MacOSX. The only notes I'd add include the following:

> 1) Clicking the 'Open existing workspace file' button opens a 'Save  
> File'
> dialog box. Shouldn't this be an Open File box?

This seems only to be a dialog box *title* problem: the button does  
actually open (and not save) a resource file.

While the GUI buttons related to resource files all work for me, the  
only command under the menus (File>Groups> ...) that seems to work is  
"Close". By the same token, the only keyboard shortcut that works in  
this menu is ctrl-W for "Close."
