Mac to Windows

[William Conable]

One helpful thing is the Panorama Programming Reference, found in the  
Documentation Wizard. One of the things this has is a Versions menu  
and that allows you to check a box so that then each function and  
statement will show the version number where it was introduced. You  
can also ask it to show only those functions/statements associated  
with a particular release. It's a little tedious to check every  
statement you want to use, but of course there are over 750 available  
pre-Version 5, so you can do a whole whole lot without getting into  
the danger area before Jim gets the Windows update finished...
