I know you are all getting tired of reading about this phenomannon (sp?) but it
happened to me in a way that sounds unique.  I've had it in WordWriter ST, but
now I got it while in my desk top.   Heres what happened.

I was trying to put Uniterm in an AUTO folder so I could (be lazy) and run it
as the computer was turned on.  It didn't work (any ideas?) and I got 4 bombs (
I for got what that means) and then after the bombs I was returned to my
desktop.  I couldn't do anything without noving the mouse after it.  To open a
file I had to double click it then move the mouse.  I was uning no desk acc's
just my 1040 ST(f) with 1 meg and TOS (1.2 I beleive).

I was able to replicate the problem every time I tried to boot up with the
uniterm program in an AUTO folder.
