Chris,
    I downloaded the updated version that you mentioned in your message.
After a quick test, it appears to have solved my problem with the "insight"
interface.  I thought Earnie and I were having the same problem, so I'm
surprised to hear that he is still having a problem.  Thanks for the update.
