I’ve attached two. In one, I’ve selected “verg”, but you’ll have to take my word for it! The problem here is that all the text in the field is selected when you go to it, so typing will replace the entire contents, instead of appending at the cursor. The other is with the window in the background, where you can see the highlight colour.

Yep, that’s what I did.

I don’t really understand *why* the script wanted Qt anyway, since I’d already downloaded and installed it from the .dmg on the Qt website (and pointed the script to it as in the instructions).

Thanks,
