This should be aimed at the AP V2 beta mailing list (I have cc-ed it  
there).

Since it's all new code, there could well be glitches. When you say  
"slews are not working correctly", is nothing happening, or is the  
scope slewing to the wrong coordinates?

Turn on the "Show data flow to and from telescope" option for the  
mount (Edit->Resources->Telescope). This will dump a file on your  
desktop that lists the traffic to/from your mount. Attempt a slew.  
Send me a copy of the file and I'll attempt an analysis.
