 sorry about that.  The bib ( bibliography ) in the window has a 32K limit,
i.e. if your indexed formatted bibliography reaches more than 32K it stops at
that limit and does not let you get at the rest of the bibliography.  For most
purposes 32K might be fine but we are doing a bibliography that might be 50K+

>you can save the material in that screen any place you want to

Yes it does let you save whatever is in the window but the window only holds
32K, it doesn't show you the rest if your work happens to be larger than that.
Say your bibliography is 50K.  You have it formatted and indexed and Pro-Cite
puts it into the window, but it will only put the first 32K into the window,
what about the rest ? The people at PBS say that the only thing to do then is
print it.  Cobsidering that word processors selling for under $100 don't have
this 32k limit, it's inexcusable for such a pricy package to have this terminal
handicap.
