Just got around to downloading 2.6.1.

Haven't had a chance yet to explore all the good bug fixes yet. But, 
the first thing I did was to check the screen refresh problem in OS 
X. That remains a problem. The screen does not refresh after many 
commands that affect the screen, such as "set the loc of...." and 
writing to the screen. In the example:

on mouseUp
   put "" into field "display"
   put "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their 
country." into tText
   repeat with i = 1 to the number of chars in tText
     put char i of tText after field "display"
     unlock screen
   end repeat
end mouseUp

The line "unlock screen" (or wait 0 milisec) is necessary in OS X to 
get a smooth banner display.
