On what I believe is a related note: I called New Horizons to tell them I
have problems with ProWrite version 3.0 running on an A3000. If I select
"cancel" while it is printing, the program hangs. The mouse pointer stays
as a round clock, and ProWrite does not respond to menu events. They say
that this problem only shows up with the OS being shipped with the current
batch of A3000's. I have my printer on the serial port, others have it on
their parallel port, and both cases hang while trying to close the printer
after aborting the I/O.
