    Stephen,
    	you can obtain the summary of new features release 6.1 from
    Bonnie Drowns @ PICA::Drowns. It is a hard copy and not currently
    available on the system. It is about 1/2 inch thick.

    You should get the 6.1 New Features Doc from IM&T.  I think the person
    	who handles that is Bonnie Drowns.
    6.1 works well, the expanded VMS interface is very convenient.

    We have just installed V6.1 of FOcus and are experiencing some wierd
    results.
    
    We run Focus with FOCUS/SUBDIR=DELETE.
    
    In V5.2.3 the .DOC file was created in the directory that FOCUS was
    executed from and all the .FTM were deleted from the temporary
    directory. Sounds good, eh.
    
    In V6.1.0 the .DOC file is created in the temporary directory and there
    is no deletion of any files in the subdirectory which means after
    exiting Focus the temporary directory still exists.
    
    This is causing us major problems because we have loads of command
    procedures copying the .DOC files.
    
    Is there a reason for this and even better a solution.
    
    
    Thanx,
    
    	Stuart.
