With the Tcl/Tk interface, I get a warning when trying to load lhs. 
Xconq says that it cannot find the image for 'radar'. I don't know if 
this is related to the image-loading changes that were recently made, or 
if this has been there all along. I haven't investigated what the cause 
of the problem is yet, However, I do note that the image for 'radar' 
does show up in the unit list once that game has finished loading.

We shouldn't have to resort to quoting GDL when explaining a game's 
behavior.

I see that this table is not described by the help system. I will add it 
once I get back into the utype descriptions as part of the help system 
overhaul.

I probably would already be working on the utype descriptions again, if 
I hadn't ended up spending part of this weekend in the Rockies. Now that 
I am back down to only 1 mile above sea level again, I suppose I should 
get back to some Xconq hacking....
