I've used FLASH as my "editor of choice" for all my ST-Log articles, my
Dungeon Master hintbook, and most of my other text editing.. it doesn't have
all the "bells and whistles" of the "real" wordprocessors, but then again,
my applications have never required any of those features..
 
Essentially the same symptoms as reported by others, using other programs,
occurred...  I would be typing in new text at the bottom of the text buffer..
A series of quick backspaces would trigger the "phantom typist", resulting
in the last 10 or so characters being repeated over and over, until the syste
crashed...
 
It didn't happen often, but when it did, it was terribly annoying...
 
I wonder if Ken knows where I can buy a new supply of dried chicken blood..?
