Yes, the new extensions are really cool.

I have quite the same problem: I don't get the error browser. It seems
that the ``Use error browser'' option and the ``Output to MacPerl
window'' option don't ``cohabit'' (as we say in French;-) very well. I
managed to get the error browser window once before setting the output
to the MacPerl window. Also, I haven't found how to have additional
extensions show up in the palette, although I carefully followed the
instructions to create new extensions.

I have just finished an AS script to reorganize my windows. It is
designed for 640x480 screens. The main window (for scripts) shows 80
columns and 23 lines (assuming you are using ProFont 9 pts). The
MacPerl window shows 87 columns and 9 lines. People with larger screens
(or Chris when he'll have his new 17'' monitor) should change
bottomBound to the height of their screen - 5 (otherwise the window
will be resized) and middleBound to whatever they want. Have fun.



set leftBound to 0
set rightBound to leftBound + 550
set topBound to 38
set bottomBound to 475
set middleBound to 345
