Where in the world is the term Goods Train used in preference to Freight Train? Certainly both terms are used in parts of Australia. GB has traditionally used Goods rather than Freight. I'm guessing that USA would prefer the term Freight. Any clarification anyone?

SigScribe4: The popup menu pops up when it shouldn't!

When running under Windows(R) the context menus in SigScribe4 will pop up with a right-click. But they are also designed to pop up for a left-click-and-hold. If you are a bit too slow with your normal clicks, they may be interpreted as click-and-hold resulting in unintentional pop ups.
