Also what's the deal with the ropes in JSW 64? I can't seem to be
able to configure them at all. They just stick to the extreme left of
the screen no matter what, and no matter how many times I bash the
mouse button or enter/return key the rope will not move from this
position.

I think you have found what we in the trade call "a bug" in JSWED.

I'll get straight on to fixing it, but here's a workaround you can
use: Open the guardian editor for the rope in question. Click the "!"
button and you'll get a screen with eight hex numbers. The third one
across gives the position of the rope.

Is the rope adding bit of the editor not finished or something? I
just figured I'd ask that since I know the current JSWED's all seem
to be a work in progress type affair.

In theory, if the middle digit of the version number is even then
everything in JSWED is supposed to work. If the middle digit is odd,
no guarantees.
