Hello Everyone,

I have noticed something strange with WordPerfect that I hope someone can help
me with.  Every once in a while when I am happily typing away, all of a sudden
my screen will go blank, there be a few beeps, and there will be some strange
characters printed at the top left of the screen in inverse.  If I type any key
after this happens, my screen returns to normal, and it is as if nothing has
happened.  This problem only appears so far to occure when I am in the middle
of typing a string of characters very quickly.  This has only occured about
three times in the past few weeks.  While so far I have not lost any
information because of this problem, I would feel safer if I new what was
going on.  Can anyone help me with this?
