I've run into a strange bug in the latest update of Timeworks WordWriter (2.0).
It seems that searching the thesaurus for any word beginning with 'w' causes
the program to crash with two or three bombs and dump you back to the desktop
if the word is in the thesaurus.  Anybody else seen this one?

It's a decent program other than this, considering the price.  Now, if they'd 
only answer their 800 number or their mail...
