A new version of Word Perfect has just been released for the ST.  It
fixes some bugs and also has some new features such as allowing you to
use GEM file selector boxes in places where you previously had to type
file names.  I don't know about the bug you are experiencing, but it
might go away.  One question though -- do you have 70K free on your
disk when you write the file?  You may be having disk-full problems.
