who maintains this program?
Is there a bug list so I know what not to waste my time trying to do?

What were you trying to do?
trying to save or load a file, like the tutorial manual gives you only
the sketchiest of clues how to do, probably cuz there's little user
interface consistency between platforms, and they only wanted to print
one book. turns out a doubleclick with the left button "does" a list item.
What's wrong:
if you click on the .. or / in the file picker too many times, the dialog
box buttons no longer do anything apparent except depress and release,
meanwhile the program is running around afs-land causing you to get
messages like "lost contact with server inel.gov" from all over the world.
the Xterm "kill program" item no longer does anything.
What should have happened:
it not locking up, it letting you save or load a file without interposing
a dialog box full of bomb triggers.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
the lower half of page 6 of the "AUTOCAD tutorial"
