RE: [Pythoncard-users] updating the documentation

I've updated all of the State of the Framework messages for release 0.6.2.
Rather than repost all of the messages to the mailing list, you should just
visit
  http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/toc.html
to get to each updated file. I'll try and keep those updated for each
release until the content is molded into some regular documentation. There
is quite a lot of info in the files, so if you are using PythonCard, they
are worth reading.

Please post any questions or corrections to the list.
