The developer replies ...

"Learned that in some new games (Trails, Rectangles, PJ) you can press both
the mouse buttons at the same time and you get the screen resolution and fps
information. Press them again and the information goes away. (last week we
thought it was a bug, now we think it might be a feature)"

More an internal facility ... mainly for displaying my internal version 
number ... usually accessed by pressing the scroll wheel.

"The touchpad cursor jerky issues appear on all the new games we are trying
-  Trails, Rectangles, PJ, PJ Lite. Don't have that issue on Memorize and
the other standard build activities. Maybe these new games are too memory
intensive?
...
she struggled with jerky cursor, even using a USB mouse."

This is of great concern to me ... especially the USB mouse ... I test on 
XO-1s .82 & .84 ... though not ideal the cursor movement is ok.

"Numbers - ...The primary teachers that
visited us said the easy levels should have one method (like add or times)
and harder levels should have mixed methods (both add and times)."

Good suggestion ... will implement in the next version.

Many thanks to the NZ testers ... I get very little feedback which makes 
successful activity development very difficult.
