-resizing windows.. there's some weirdness with resizing windows under
-osx due to apple's strangely strict interpretation of the java api

-future.
+naming of sketches.. on other platforms, you aren't allowed to type
+characters besides letters, numbers, and underscores for the names of
+sketches. because of what looks like a bug in osx java, this feature
+is disabled, and the file is simply renamed (bad characters are
+replaced with underscores) after you hit 'ok'. boo apple.. i'm getting
+sick of all these workarounds.
+
+quitting presentation mode.. on other platforms, hitting the 'escape'
+key will quickly get you out of presentation mode. however, there
+seems to be some key event weirdness under osx. we hope to find a fix
+someday.

+arrow keys work (they didn't under 43) using a hokey algorithm to do
+placement of the cursor. this is a workaround for an apple bug. things
+might be a little funny, but maybe someone else will be able to repair
+this in the future.
