15.2.6

Feature - Support for Special number characters typed on the keyboard that use the Option Key.
Characters like these... ¡™£¢∞§¶•ªº
Holding the Option key down while pressing any number key will send a special character to the host. (Does not work with extended keypad.)

To enable this feature, uncheck Strip 8th bit under the Settings Menu.
Then under the Emulate Menu, select Function Key Options... and uncheck the new item that says, “Use Option Key and Number Keys as Function Keys”.

NOTE: Previous versions always used the Option key with number keys as function keys. (Goes back to the days when Macs did not have function keys)

El Capitan Compatibility

Fix - Was getting " ActivateFontFromResourcesFile error -985 " with El Capitan beta (Mac OS 10.11)
The MacWise font could not load and was causing cursor positioning and screen clearing problems with El Capitan.

MacWise now attempts to load fonts from it's resources folder. If that fails, it looks for fonts in the MacWise Fonts folder.
The installer now has the option to drag MacWise Fonts to the Fonts folder (MacWise will alert you if that needs to be done)

ESC ~a~FileName runs an AppleScript.
This is one of the many host commands you can use in MacWise
