This is a further postscript to the problems in 6.01 Exhibit Manager.
Whilst the right click access to Properties for any exhibit does not
work, it is still possible to select exhibits for the SlideShow Manager.

Ironically, the Properties option in SlideShow Manager _does_ work.
Furthermore, SlideShow Manager is showing the Description field in its
memo window whereas I understand that in 6.04, the Exhibit Manager memo
window has been changed to show the Caption field?

Another point is one that I had noticed before but not really focussed
on. In SlideShow manager, it would seem rather contrarily that the
default setting is that any text in the description field in Properties
is presented against a black background! As all text in this field has
to be black (doesn't it?), the default setting makes all description
details unreadable until the background has been reset to white (or at
least some other colour).

However I have noted this time (and I cannot remember what happened in
earlier versions) that changing the background colour of the Description
field in the Properties tab for SlideShow manager does not stick so that
if you revisit that exhibit, the field is once again unreadable.
