  Now wait a minute...  This might solve the problem, as some people have
suggested, but that still leaves one thing unanswered.  Several people have
E-mailed to me that they are experiencing the same troubles except that each
of them is using system 6.0.3.

  Don't be so quick to assume that the problem is that HC hasn't been
upgraded...  although I do intend to upgrade, there are others with the same
problem who are running 6.0.3 and HC 1.2.2.

   Thanks for your help with my problem, though.  It looks more like a 1.2.2
bug than an incompatibility with the system software.
