Whoops, my mistake.

I have not actively worked on it for a number of months. It's
always nice to have users, though, so my activity level could
increase again.

Oh yes, there is quite a bit of functionality to be added,
see the bug tracker at:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=163034&atid=826145

Just that I hadn't thought of a better way than the current
mechanism (and back then, I was still inexperienced with
Common Lisp).

That is really odd. At one time, the chm file was perfectly
usable. But I've now downloaded what is on SourceForge
and tried it on two machines, one with IE6 and other with
IE7, and I see the same problem. I suspect that simply
rebuilding the chm file will result in one that is usable, at
which point that could be uploaded to SF.net.

Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback, Hugo. I can't promise anything
specific, but I'm encouraged to make some time available
to work on Graphic-Forms and support you and other folks
who are trying to use it. Please keep sending your feedback
and/or bug reports as you encounter issues.
