Hello, all!

I've been using MacProject II for some time now, and I've found a
terribly frustrating, annoying bug. Here's the situation: Mac II, 5
Mb ram, 13", 256 color moniter (apple's), multifinder, and a 768K
partition for MacProject II. LocalTalk connection to a LaserWriter,
V5 system software (that's finder 6.0, system 4.2 and Multifinder
1.0), and LaserWriter and Laser Prep 5.2 (from V6 software
release ... This is another story).

  My project plan has grown big enough, and the dependencies are
sparse enough, that I want to break the one file down into several
smaller files, and use 'Supertasks' to bring everything back
together.  First step: make the sub-files.  I go to 'See Entire
Shart', select the boxes that are to make up one sub file, and hit
copy.  Close the main file, and open a new one.  Make the chart size
a little bigger (3 pages is enough), click in the main chart area,
and hit 'Paste'.  It works.  Do this a second time; second sub-file
made.  Do this a third time, and it says 'current chart size too
small for clipboard contents'.  OK, so I make the drawing size
bigger.  Now the drawing is six pages.  click, and paste.  Same
Problem.  Now the drawing size is as big as I can make it.  Same
problem.  Go to page setup, set reduction to 50% (ttwice as big
again!) Same problem.  Choose 'show clipboard'.  The clipboard
window comes up empty.  I make it the size of my screen, still
empty.  No scroll bars.  No contents.  I go back to the origional
chart, copy the right piece, and show clipboard.  Still empty.  What
gives???

   If anyone at claris is listening, fix this, fast!  

Thanks for listening...
