It fixes some bugs and also has some new features such as allowing you to use GEM file selector boxes in places where you previously had to type file names. I don't know about the bug you are experiencing, but it might go away. One question though -- do you have 70K free on your disk when you write the file? You may be having disk-full problems. ================================================== | Michael Fischer | | Arpanet: | | Bitnet: | | UUCP: | ==================================================
