Improvements

----------
Technical Notes
* Editing a sequence during playback will not stop the sequence from playing.
* When using a Type Text Action to enter a large amount of text into Microsoft
  Word, you may experience a delay before the text appears on the screen. Word
  does not display the text until the Type Text Action is completed.
* For maximum performance and reliability, use a Clipbook Action instead of a
  Type Text Action when pasting large amounts of text (over 400 characters).
* You may experience delays when executing File Handler Actions on Windows
  98 Desktop items. 
* If you are using Adobe products, avoid using "Shift + Alphanumeric" hot keys to
  trigger Type Text Actions.
* If you are using Adobe products, avoid using "Alt + Alphanumeric" hot keys to
  trigger Menu Select Actions.
* The Special Characters Action dialog may display several rectangular boxes
  instead of characters if the currently selected font does not support these
  characters.
* During Type Text and Menu Select Actions, the mouse cursor will not move until
  the Action has completed. If the mouse cursor does not move after completion
  or you need to abort the Action, press "Control + Esc".

----------
Known Issues                                            
* On some systems, if you drag an item across a Pop Out or Auto hide toolbar,
  a small portion of the toolbar may remain visible until the item is released.
* Menus in Windows Explorer are not recognized by Menu Select Actions.
* QuicKeys cannot record or playback from the Start Menu in Windows 98.
* Due to the different types of apostrophes used by various applications, the
  Check Spelling Action may flag a word with an apostrophe as misspelled when
  it is actually correct.
* Browsing for menu items in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook 98 and some versions
  of Internet Explorer does not work using the Select Menu Action, but can be
  recorded and played back successfully using standard sequence recording.
* Mouse clicks and keystrokes do not get converted to Select Menu Actions when
  recording in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook 98 and some versions of Internet
  Explorer. However, these items will play back correctly.
* The Microsoft Office Assistant must be disabled when recording a sequence
  which involves switching to or from a Microsoft Office program.
* If you record a sequence in Microsoft Word or Excel which involves menu items,
  do not change the zoom state of the document window after recording.  Changing
  the zoom state shifts the menus which will cause the sequence to fail on playback.
* Selections copied from Microsoft Office and other OLE Server applications will be
  displayed in the QuicKeys Clipbook as thumbnails. These selections will paste
  properly.
* Programs that use command line parameters to launch will not be displayed in
  the program lists in QuicKeys. Use the "Browse" option to select these programs.
* Using Alt key combinations to trigger Advanced Text Tool Actions or Copy
  selection to Clipbook Actions is not recommended.
