	Hi folks.  I'm running epoch-4.0.1 (X11R5.11), on Sequent Symmetry
    S81 running DYNIX V3.0.17.10.  I notice that if I do Shift-Button1
    (which tells me the line the pointer is on) in a part of the window that
    is beyond the end of the window's contents, I get the error:

Args out of range: x, y

	Where y is the value (1+ (point)), ie. it seems that epoch adds 1 to
    (point) underneath the pointer, then checks the line count in that
    region, regardless as to whether (point) == (point-max) in the first
    place.

	This also occasionally happens when the buffer is narrowed, and the
    pointer is beyond the end of the narrowed region, as in rmail.  This is
    a pain here, because I often cut from the rmail window; and then get
    this type of error if the area I am cutting extends to the end of the
    (narrowed) buffer.

	Cheers, Simon.
