[Mesquitelist] possible bug?

Hello all,
	I am making the bittersweet move from Maclade to Mesquite  
(Macclade-simple to use and, for me, mostly logical menus vs.  
Mesquite-complicated but much more powerful and for both PC and Mac!)  
and I still have a lot to learn, but I have run into a problem.

	I am not sure this is bug or if I am doing something wrong so I  
thought it best to comment here rather than just send it in as a bug.

	I use Mesquite 2.6 on several PC's (windows XP), an I-mac (OSX 10.5),  
and on a dual-processor G-5 (OSX 10.3.9), all with recent updates to  
the operating systems.  Recently I decided to label groups of taxa  
according to family, each with a different color.  In the PC's and the  
I-mac this works fine (taxon names in black, cells in color), but when  
I open the file in the G-5 and view the character matrix the names of  
the taxa are in the same color as the cells and I can't read the names.  
  The only way to return the taxon names to black is to remove the group  
designation.
	Is this a bug with the program or just a problem with the particular  
version of Java that runs on this computer?  Checking "About this Mac"  
shows Java 1.3.1 Plugin settings as version 2.0.0, Java 1.4.2 Plugin  
settings as version 2.3.0, and Java Web Start as version 2.3.0.

	Has anyone else had this problem?

	There is also another small problem with the program in the same  
machine.  Mesquite loads just fine, but when I open a file that had  
been saved in any other machine a small window opens that says "A  
script has failed to execute properly, possibly because it expected  
certain modules not available in the current configuration of Mesquite.  
  Details: A command ("getInfoPanel;") did not result in the return of  
an object as expected.  The script's results may not be as expected.   
More details are written into Mesquite's log file."  This does not  
occur with files that were saved on this same machine.
	A copy of the info from the log file is given below.

Thanks,  Scott Monks
