1. Fix inconsistency in MIAMEX,39 (delete directory) return status.  Now returns 0 for success under both Windows and UNIX (previously the Windows return status was backwards.)

2. MIAMEX,99 (retrieve registry string) now handles strings up to 256 bytes (up from 64).

3. You can now use Control-P to invoke the print-screen operation from within INMEMO.SBR and PCKLST.SBR

4. MIAMEX,65 (print screen) now accepts another flag, 16, which is like 4 (show dialog) except that it can be overridden by the optional third argument to the PRINTER= parameter in MIAME.INI (see next).

5. The MIAME.INI statement PRINTER= now accepts a third optional argument which can be used to silence the print screen dialog that normally appears when ^P is hit in an INFLD or INMEMO context.  The syntax is:

PRINTER=<defptr>{,<screen-print-ptr>{,NoDlg}}

The first argument <defptr> is the normal default printer. The second argument <screen-print-ptr>, may optionally specify a different default printer to be used with print-screen operations. The last argument, NoDlg, causes the dialog box which normally appears when printing a screen picture to be silenced.

6. (WINDOWS) Fixed: the mouse cursor reporting TCRT (-1,158) was causing little garbage boxes to display on the screen.  

7. (WINDOWS) Fixed: Double-clicking on a menu selection in INMEMO or PCKLST was not always selecting the appropriate item.  (I was counting on the single-click message to always arrive first so that we could first select the item clicked on, but in some cases only the double-click message arrives.)

8. Some minor aesthetic issues in the display of the top and bottom titles in PCKLST and INMEMO menus have been addressed.  Both titles should now line up with the first column of the menu.
