Comment:

 Thanks Jose. This is great feedback.

 Comments:

 If you use the List View on the Home Page, you can see the version number
 listed.

 1. I will update the palette menu to show the Journal icon as per your
 suggestion. Since TA 55. I couple that block with a Show block by default.

 2. I think I will change the graphic from the gear (view source) to the
 pippy icon. I don't have a mechanism currently to change the palettes
 dynamically. Perhaps if the block graphic makes it clear somehow that the
 code had not yet been loaded??? Also, one may well want to sketch out one
 logic before loading the brick... But I could also load some code by
 default.

 3. I'll figure out what is going wrong with the compare. It should work
 either way. But the whole keyboard input mechanism is a bit broken. I
 tried to make it block until a character was available, but never could
 coax gtk into doing the correct thing.

 4. Now that we have a scrollable workspace, I think the lock block is not
 necessary... The lock, by the way, indicates that that brick cannot be
 removed.

 5. Not sure I follow you. Isn't the shape already the same? Just the size
 is different. (Could you attach some sketches?)

 6. Good catch. When I changed stack to action, I missed that one.
