I managed to crash it once since posting my recommendadtion of it. It was while
editing buttons. I had 32 buttons, each a duplicate of the first, and was going
through them all to modify the scripts, since each button needed different
coordinates for a FloodFill. I noticed things getting very slow, followed by a
GURU. Later, I was doing the same thing, and avoided problems by saving when I
noticed the slowdown, exiting CanDo, and reloading the deck. Perhaps it's a
little careless with its garbage collection.
