I recently put a hard disk on my kids (ha!) //gs and this evening ran
into a strange problem with Multiscribe GS (V3).  I have the dictionary
on the the hard disk.  I was playing with the thesauraus and I opened a
new document typed ONE (1) WORD, highlighted it and then asked for
synonyms.  It prompted me for the dictionary so I clicked on the 
disctionary that was on the hard disk.  It proceeded to tell me i didn't 
have enough memory for this operation.

I have 1.25M in the system, I had the /ram5 disk set to 256K. I check the 
control panel to get some idea of how much memory I had available and I
had close to 400K.  I then zeroed out the ram disk, POWERED DOWN THE 
SYSTEM, and tried the same thing again......Same thing.

I then tried it a third time with the utilities disk in the 3.5" drive 
(this is one the has the dictionary on it) and everything worked just 
fine.

I'm running GS/OS which came with System Disk 4.

Is this an undocumented feature or am I missing something?
