v1.99a replaced with v1.99b.

I just downloaded 1.99b version, ran the .vbs script to setup, ran RM. I think that's how it's done.
Then I wanted to use an upgrade which uses XMP protocol which might be in more recent RDFs than my 1.28. Yes, I will update to 1.30.
Anyway, I'll find my way around , but I thought I mention that I cannot under these conditions close RM using the windows X nor File/Exit.
I killed javaw.exe in Process Explorer, so this post is just FYI.
Error log twice says "KeyMapMaster.windowClosing() caught an exception!"

Edited: the file I was trying to open was this

Edit#2: Well, I downloaded v1.30 RDFs and Maps and images v1.30 and RM protocols list does not have that XMP protocol.
And close and exit do not work.
I tried reading the protocols.ini but there are no carriage returns in the file making it nearly impossible to wade through.

This is the error about the protocol I forgot to include earlier

If you open protocols.ini in wordpad, it should be easy to read, as wordpad understands the unix "line feed only" line ends.

seems to me, the last time I needed to use an XMP protocol, it wasn't in the ini file, so I downloaded the protocols.ini file from the Tools->Main folder.
