I've just started trying to use hyperbole (hyperb:version 3.05), and epoch
(epoch::version "Epoch 3.2.11") and have run into a couple of problems.  Any
helpful hints or answers would be appreciated.

    1.  In epoch, if I click with the middle or right mouse buttons,
	I get the error:
	    (sm-mouse-x-coord): invalid X coord: #<buffer DEMO>

    2.  In epoch or emacs, if I visit a file with the following local
	variables: 
	       ;;; Local Variables: ***
	       ;;; mode-name:text ***
	       ;;; fill-prefix:"	    " ***
	       ;;; fill-column:70 ***
	       ;;; End: ***

	I get the error
	    File local-variables error:
		(error "Missing colon in local variables entry")

	If I don't load hyperbole, it works fine.

Get the newer release of Hyperbole, V3.06 and install that.
Delete the "hsite.el" file which made it into the distribution accidentally
and then follow all of the instructions from the "README" file.

The "hsite-ex.el" file should explain this.  There is a fix file included
with Hyperbole called "hlvar.el".  If people would write such declarations
for human consumption, e.g. separarting the var-name: from the var-value with
a space, there would be no problem.
