Subject: Problem with arrow keys, page up/down in Xmaxima

Hello,
I am working with the most recent revisions on the 5.10.0 release branch
and in Xmaxima I get an error message when I try to use the up/down
arrow keys or page up/down or home or end. In each case the message
appears in a pop up window and it says something like
"Invalid command name tk::TextUpDownLine" (or tk::TextScrollPages
or tk::TextSetCursor).
Also, when I type stuff into Xmaxima, the text is shown in blue.
I was expecting it to be green, then blue when I type ; or $ .
On the plus side -- the HTML rendering of the function and variable
index in the documentation is very much improved.
I have Fedora 1 (Linux). Maxima is compiled with Clisp 2.38.
Rpm says I have tk-8.3.5-93 and tcl-8.3.5-93 installed.
Can someone else try Xmaxima on a similar system and let us know how it works?
Does the stuff on the end of the release branch work OK in Windows?
All the best,
Robert
