  What is the version of the system Etoys?

  There are some control characters in it so the user might have
pressed some key combination and Etoys didn't handle it properly, or
there is a bug (could introduced recently with the camel cased names).
In any case, the user shouldn't see this in any (normal) circumstance
and it should be fixed.

  Can you send us (Scott, Bert, Ted, Takashi and me) the project?
