 Actually, the left-hand button is "Compile" and the right-hand one is
"Quit" but I'm just being a pedant... I've had to fix this problem
using ResEdit on my copy of TADS - 2.0.7, which I believe is the
latest. Try using ResEdit to move stuff around. Or I could mail you
the modified DITL and DLOG resources if you know how to install them.
(hopefully that isn't a flagrant violation of the licencing
agreement. If it is, forget I mentioned it.)

 Dave Baggett could correct me if I'm wrong, but the version on the
German interactive fiction ftp site is the latest, I think. ftp is
cheaper than connecting to the High Energy BBS for most of us. But I
don't think that this version contains a fix for the window size
problem. It does appear to work fine on 68000 Macs, though.
