Thanks for the information.

Is it only in the PPC version that runtime is broken?

I was finally able to get a trivial "Hello,World" script
to work correctly as a runtime application using the 68K
version of 5.1.0r2. I was about to try "real" scripts next
but I will hold off now.

Do you have an ETA for 5.1.1?

Thanks (hardly seems enough),
