I have uploaded a newer version of the MAC code to ftp.skypoint.com.
The host was down last night; I had to stage code at work, so I had
to update all the files.

The main differences are on the filters tab where there is now a current
filter entry field that reflects what filter is being edited. Also,
when creating a new filter, the filter parameters can be filled in
and copied.

On the archives tab, there is also now a current archive entry field
that reflects what archive is being edited. When creating a new
archive, the archive parameters can be filled in and copied.

I added some checks to handle cases where it's possible to accidentally
overwrite filter or archive definitions. Since this can be used
on purpose to copy information, I put an OK, Cancel box in, instead of
just forbidding it.

Good progress is being made, but I deeply regret not being able to find
the tasks so that I could develop the scenarios for the heuristic
walkthroughs. I certainly hope to do that after class and before
meeting with the TA.
