An issue people should be aware of is that it throws an error if the game says it is using Quest 5.3 or earlier

This fails:

<asl version="530">

This works:

<asl version="540">

Alex, this was the proble, I e-mailed about.

ETA: On the blog it says about themes; how are they accessed?

Is there some form of replacement for Pause

Alex
The asl version error applies to Quest 5.4 as well by the way. If you're launching an ASLX file, Quest will use the current library files, so you need to stay up to date.

Instead of Pause, use SetTimeout http://quest5.net/wiki/SetTimeout

You use it with a nested script, just like Wait.

Alex
You can access themes from the game Display tab.

Well Alex, I have to say that Q5.5 does have some welcomed features like putting the title/subtitle/author's name at the top of the first page in the gamebook section and the theme selection. I have yet to encounter any bugs but I'll keep an eye out.
