    o Fix bug #1607629; File->Edit dialog now lets you double-click to select
      a procedure.
    o Remove CRYPTO.LGO and PLAYFAIR.LGO examples so that I can mark FMSLogo as

    o Improve the efficiency of the installer by only extracting the files that
      which need to be installed.
    o Fix a bug in the ` operation which could remove nesting levels from the
      output in some cases.
    o Remove the menu options for English-to-locale and locale-to-English
      in locales where no translation tables are provided.
    o Minor improvements to the manual.
