  Hi all.

  TML systems claims that a major bug in thier compiler is caused by some
errors in TextEdit.  Specifically, they claim that if one cuts or clears more
than about 4K, bad things will happen.  I can verify that this is so.

  Does system 5.0.2 contain any changes over System 5.0 that fix this problem? 
Are they telling the truth?  If so, when is this problem expected to be fixed? 
If it really is this, could I fix it by merely getting a copy of the revised
TextEdit Toolset?  (I will get sys 5.02 eventually, but a trip to my local
apple dealer takes about three hours unless I am _very_ lucky.  I have to beg
rides.  :)

  Also, in many of my old TML 1.5 applications, I used statements like

  Drawstring( Concat ( Copy (' abcdef',3,2),' are letters.'));

  to draw the string "cd are letters."  These statements are not working.  I
believe this is because TML is now returning anonymous string types or some
such.  I am not really sure.  Can anyone with some experince make this work?

  To the person who wanted to make resources: I have created resource files,
but I have not yet tried to run them.  Soon as this little problem is solved, I
will let you know.

  Thanks much.

  Scott
