BTW, under MultiFinder I've noticed that when I am forced to use the Interrupt button to escape a "tight spot" and I enter the MacsBugs command EA (for EscapetoApplication), the application (I am thinking, in particular, of VersaTerm-3.0) is first closed and then restarted - not, as it used to do, simply continued .... Also, it may be worth mentioning at this opportunity, that I have experienced situations where a COPY and PASTE produces garbage, rather than the 5 words selected .... - seems also having to do with lack of free memory in the application's partition ... -- werner@rascal.ics.utexas.edu (prefered address) kraut@ut-ngp.uucp (if you must)
