QNX is now up to date with the Unix platform.

We also need test documents so that we can test them on other
platforms. Having a hash + test document would be great.

Or in the case of QNX ... even uses the cursor changes =;-(
What frame changes were required? I took a quick look but

QNX Should almost have the whole styles dialog done now ... but
much of the functionality isn't hooked up because I'm not quite
clear on how to use styles =;-( ... a quick doc on how to test
this dialog would be appreciated.
I'll whip up the runModal method for the Bullets/Numbering
