Well, since posting that I have discovered a few things!

* Gambas doesn't like me calling the project gb.listmgr!  Well, it
doesn't mind but it refuses to recognise it as a component in the IDE
toolbox. So in the next few days I'll change its' name to simply
"listmgr".

* Setting default values in the _Properties constant has got some
strange effects.  The Orientation property was defined as
"Orientation{Align.Left;Right;Top;Bottom}=Right,"
(and the property was initialised to "=Align.Right") but this causes
some aberrant behaviour that I will shortly raise as an issue. In the
meantime, some or all of the control properties need to be set
explicitly either in code or via the IDE properties bar.

Now the biggy!

I have spent some hours today modifying our local copy of the IDE source
so that it displays help for local (i.e. "ThirdParty") components. Why?
Because apart from the list manager we have over 20 custom controls that
we use in projects and the IDE will not display help for non-gb
components (and custom controls must be components not libraries). At
the end of the day we can now have help for these local components based
on in-line code help. I would like to commit the changes I have made
BUT...

I use eSvn as a front end to svn, which is pretty good but it wont let
me commit to the source repo (because it can't handle my password
string).

@Benoît: I could send you the diffs but I know you don't like them.

So, can anyone tell me 
a) how I can get my repo password changed to something else, and
b) does anyone know how to set the password in eSvn for a repo copy?
