[Mesquitelist] ver 2.5: changing colors for character states?

[Wayne Maddison]

First, my apologies for being offline for so long.  Field work, far 
away, followed by many trips.  (This same apology is implicitly 
prepended to the other emails to follow soon.)

If it's not too late to answer this:

The instructions apply to Trace Character History.  We have not yet 
extended this feature to Trace Character Over Trees.  We'll put it on 
the To-do list.
