I think there is a bug in 2.02 ED that trashs its memory buffers.
On occasion when you type in an invalid command, its sent to the Arexx
port. Sometimes this causes ED to hang--you can scroll around beyond the
top of the buffer where if you tried typing keys in, you trash memory and
crash the system. This bug has me cost more than a few editing sessions.
Hopefully, this bug is fixed in the newest version.
