1.5 LPA Prolog v4.3 beta test report and Upgrade

I receive a beta version 4.3 of prolog for evaluation purpose. A report was sended and following is the corresponding e-mails including the invoice and other details.

There are three summary chapters related with this software package:

Hi There,

Please find some responses to your beta test report:

> The mouse Right-click  does not work, even for copy and paste

At present, we don't make much use of the right mouse button, but this
will probably be added in the future.

> It cannot be copied from text window to dialog Code(import/Export)

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this: there should be no
restrictions in cut/copy/paste between text windows and rich or edit
controls in dialogs

> The Edit menu options for copy, cut, paste, etc, does not work
> properly on the console

The console uses a special subset of edit command, because it is
behaving as a hybrid output and input window. The only part which may be
edited is the "Input Zone", which is everything you typed (or pasted)
after the last piece of displayed output. The remainder of the console,
the "Fixed Zone", is intentionally locked. There are several reasons why
we do this, but mainly it is to support efficient console syntax
colouring (we only want to colour the input, not the whole window) and
maintains a correct sequence of commands and output throughout a
session, which is less confusing than our old model.

> The predicate wdcreate(w,`editor`,4,4,808,557,
> [dlg_ownedbydesktop,ws_sysmenu,ws_maximizebox,ws_minimizebox,
> ws_thickframe,ws_caption,ws_border,dlg_modalframe]).

The "dlg_modalframe" flag should be replaced by the Microsoft-named
"ws_ex_modalframe" style bit: we've added many new styles this time
round, and the need for "dlg_modalframe" has been removed.

Hi Miguel,

Good to know that the payment is progressing. 
Sorry, my mistake about the actual card. In an earlier email you said
you would pay by credit card. You didn't say it was going to AMEX!
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex. 

BTW we received a fax from Ramon Vasquez-Espinosa asking for information
on some of our toolkits, including Webflex. I emailed these links for
information and demos:

Hello Miguel,

Thanks for your quick response. 
We don't want to make difficulties, so let us agree on $1000 for the
upgrades to include ProData. I hope this is acceptable.

Best regards
Diane
