Here are some random comments about 20.0-b34.  Nothing major, just
things I noticed after a day of use.

1.  The pictures on the About page don't crash anymore.  Hurray!  BTW,
    where can I get xpm 3.4g or the latest version?  There appears to
    be binaries on the beta site, but no sources.  I think sources
    should be there.

2.  On a related note, it seems people are using Lesstif with Linux.
    Perhaps a copy of the sources should be placed there too.  Maybe.
    Or a pointer to where to get sources/binaries.

3.  I like the new glyph for continued lines when lines are not
    wrapped.  However, is it possible to make it bold and/or bigger
    like the old "\" used to be.  That little arrowhead is a bit too
    small to see.

4.  I inserted a large postscript file via TM into a MH-E message.
    Further editing in that buffer was REALLY, REALLY slow.  I don't
    recall this happening in earlier betas, but I may be wrong.

On the whole, I find 20.0-b34 is solid.
