Hello Len,
I was referring to the Fritz 6 GUI compared to the Fritz 5 package.  I have not
used the Fritz 6 package since I received it because of the bugs in it.  So it
is now new to me.  At first I didn't like the new GUI but now I'm learning to
use it and set it up the way I like and it's pretty nice.

I haven't tested that yet but I'm still curious as to why there is no
"FritzMark" for Fritz 6.  When you run the test it loads and runs the test with
Fritz 5.32.
