I tried installing it on my OSX parition, but because Classic is broken (I
upgraded my system to 9.1)  the VISE installer couldn't run.

The AppleMenu has a disabled "about" menu item and a funny x at the bottom,
with a divider right at the bottom.

I REALLY missed the syntax colouring I'd installed, can this be included in
the contrib folder so I don't have to remember where it is etc.

Has anyone ever turned the python documentation into a AppleHelp file, so it
would be available from the help menu?

Whilst I'm here: in the browse locals bit of the software, when I'm looking
at variables that contain big chunks of text, I can't see the
contents...they're too big... could a new window be spawned if I
double-click the value

Has anyone ever created a variable watcher like HyperCard had?

cheers
