Version 1.4 with improved file handling options:

* "Save work" will now open a dialogue box, let you choose a name for your work
file and save it anywhere you want.
Keyboard shortcut: "s" (lower case).
* You can also do a "fast save" by pressing "S" (upper case). Your work will be
saved as "Backup.txt", skipping the dialogue box.

* "Reload work" will now open a dialogue box, let you select any work file and
open it for editing.
Keyboard shortcut: "r" (lower case).
* You can also do a "fast reload" by pressing "R" (upper case). "Backup.txt"
will be reloaded, skipping the dialogue box.

* "Work in back" will now open a dialogue box, let you select any work file and
place the contents as background.
Keyboard shortcut: "a" (lower case).
* You can also do a "fast work in back" by pressing "A" (upper case).
"Backup.txt" will be placed as background, skipping the dialogue box.

* "'Model.bmp'" will now open a dialogue box and let you select any bitmap image
regardless of name and place it as background. The image still needs to keep the
proportions 4:3 to avoid distortion.
Keyboard shortcut: "m" (lower case).
* You can also do a "fast bitmap in back" by pressing "M" (upper case).
"Model.bmp" will be set as background, skipping the dialogue box (provided you
have named your bitmap "Model.bmp" and placed it in the PointWriter folder).

* With all other keyboard shortcuts than these four, upper and lower case
letters will have the same effect.

* "PointWriterHelp.txt" and "READ_ME.txt" are updated with these changes.
