Remark.

  Here are Bob Loewenstein's notes on this version -

  * Fixed bug discovered by Karen: clear offset button caused a print:
tweaker. Fixing the bug in 2.38a1 caused this new one, because this
method was redefined in class rect, so I added a print: method to the
tweakclass.
  * Fixed bug discovered by Dan: I had added a new debug option, with
menukey comm-2, but comm-2 was used already by priority. Set debug2 to
comm`.
  * Fixed bug (found by me): hitting any 'add' button for preset menus
in motor panels would cause crash; fixed by recompiling the indlg2
module for yerk3.69.
  * Added alert to tell DIS user that (if the situation arises) the
requested move is identical to the state of DIS, so no command is
sent.

(changes in v. 2.38a1 included in v. 2.39)

  * Fixed bug discovered by Karen: the offset panel would give a stack
underflow when redrawn. Due to new rect method for yerk3.69
  * Put in alert about using at least 'thousands of colors' otherwise
things may look real screwy. I assume most people now have >256
colors.
  * Took out command-L for loading source files, because of possible
confusion to load image files from disk.
  * Fixed sys 8 apparition where scroll bar arrows aren't shown unless
enabled

(changes in v. 2.38 included in v. 2.39)

  * DIS grating commands changed to not send a command if nothing has
changed...this should fix the slit problem.
  * Enhanced platinum control windows (camera and motor controllers).
Changes to textctl for nicer thumbwheel appearance
  * Eliminated HRI code, not just the menu option
  * Eliminated Guider code
  * New weather display (based on jrf's modified keywords)
  * System 8 compatible (made two movem instruction changes in
'pstart'
