I just had another one of those pesky freezes in MS Word 4.00C.  This
is the first problem I've had in a month or so.  There were two sig-
nificant changes from previous experiences I've had with this problem.
First, I've only had the problem with command-shift key combinations
before; this time it was right after I did a change selection operation.
I clicked on the scroll up arrow and nothing happened, so I moved the
mouse (after releasing the button).  The mouse arrow moved (but did not
change to the I-beam in the text window) and then EVERYING froze.  The
scroll arrow remained black, the mouse arrow wouldn't move, and the
keyboard did no respond.  I restarted using the programmer's switch.

I have a Mac II with 5M memory.  The only change since my earlier 
experience with this probably is that I have updated to the latest
versions of Gatekeeper and Gatekeeper Aid.
