Chris,

As I'm using the Free Edition, I'm under the impression that I'm not 
supposed to be able to correspond with Grisoft at all. Or does that have 
only to do with tech support being unavailable, but leaving anyone with the 
ability still to email them otherwise? Do you know?

Hi, perhaps this can be filed as a suggestion to Grisoft, an option to
either allow the dialogue to remain on screen for a specified number of
minutes. If the minutes was set to 0, the dialogue would remain until the
user takes action. But that's just my suggestion, what are yours? Any
comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
