Do not make the first (alphabetically) database in your folder an alias. If you do, QuickView
will look in the resolved alias’s folder for the rest of the databases.
-----------What's new:-----------
* New preferences:
Because of the large number of potential databases (from Apple, Metrowerks, et al),
several topics can have the same name. Previous versions of QuickView would then
take the first one. An example of this is “AESend”. If some of the Metrowerks
databases are installed along with Apple's, looking up AESend from an IDE brings up
an unexpected topic.
To remedy this, there is a new dialog that will come up in these situations asking you
to refine your choice from the multiple topics that match. This feature can be turned
on/off from the “Preferences” item in the Edit Menu (this used to be called “Template
Preferences”).
* Inline WorldScript editing:
Probably not a big issue :) Anyway, we’ve turned on inline editing for those programmers
in two-byte countries. This affects the sticky-notes and any edit text boxes.
-----------Bug Fixes:-----------
* PowerPC write to NIL:
Early in QuickView's startup, it calls SndSoundManagerVersion(). The latest version of
Apple’s Universal Headers declares this as returning a long. It should return NumVersion
which is a struct. Thus, the generated PowerPC code is bogus because a pointer to the struct result should be in a register. Hey, you learn something new every day.
* PowerPC crashing:
We’ve gotten a couple of reports of crashes/hanging on PowerPCs. I believe it has to do with the item mentioned just above. Time will tell.
* Database Menu and aliases problem:
If an alias to a database was in the folder, the new Database Menu wouldn’t list all of the databases in the folder. This has been fixed.

-----------What's new:-----------
* Inline text selection:
You can now select text within the topic areas. The following features are
supported:
- Click selection: click and drag to select text
- Word selection: double-click and drag to select words
- Shift extension: shift-click to extend the selection
- Discontinuous selection: command-click for discontinuous selection
Once text is selected, you can copy it to the clipboard using Copy from the
Edit Menu. Drag and drop is also supported (click and drag in a selection).
Both 'TEXT' and 'styl' information is copied.
* Database menu:
There is a new menu called “Database” that lists the names of all open
databases. Selecting any database in the menu will bring you to the first
