I've squished a very minor bug where currentVSColor was set to entryKeyColor by mistake but 
that doesn't affect fonts.

Firstly can someone please volunteer to make details of exactly what the bug is please - what 
happens in what conditions and post it to the list.

I don't have Borland C++ Builder myself so I can't compile it but if someone that has it (apart 
from Troy!) wants I can help with reverting the code (at this stage of release that is the best 
idea).

Thanks Troy, great work so far, this is the best looking release yet, you need a break!
