Not quite, and hopefully I'm not muddying the water even further.
You _should_ use the Select version if you're running the latest RO 5.17
(built 16-04-2011), as support for Select's Toggle_Backdrop message has
been added to RO 5.
The Toggle_Backdrop message provides a much cleaner way to get at the
Pinboard, the non-Select version relies on the Pinboard handle being
stored in a specific location in its workspace.
I really should get back in touch with John Duffell to see if he'll
allow me to release my unified PBFront module (tries Toggle_Backdrop
message first, if that fails then it falls back to hacky method of
accessing the Pinboard's workspace to obtain the handle).
