Also I'm not seeing this on MacOS Catalina after upgrading from 3.906 to
4.0, even though I was seeing it on 3.906...
Two menu items are added to the Windows menu when a Register, Bill,
Invoice, or Voucher tab has focus:
• Use as Default Layout for this Register Group
• Reset Default Layout for this Register Group
And yes it says version 4.0 when opening up :-)
Cheers David H.
