I followed this thread about DownLine and I tried it on a System 7.0
equiped Mac.  It performs as advertised except for one problem:  It
(version 1.0.4) interferes with the Balloon Help mechanism.  When
DownLine is active (open) doing something or just idle and the Balloon
Help is turned on, positioning the cursor on a "Balloon Help sensitive
spot" causes the help to flicker, turning itself off and on, with such
a frequency that it is almost impossible to read the help.  This happens
without any extensions loaded.

Is version 1.0.4 the latest version of DownLine?
