	Victor, One request for CSD Player for Android: Assuming you will post the special version you made for me that includes some printed compile messages (that really helps, and I would think would benefit most Csound users on Android): could you please add a little space between the 5 buttons and the bottom of the screen? Currently it is easy (and quite disastrous) to mishit a button and instead get a menu item. One possibility: subtact a line or so from the message space at the top of the screen. In my experience, the printed messages never occupy the last line or two of the available space.
