I'm sorry. I've heard about this bug MANY times, but have not been able to
duplicate it, no matter what I do. It has started showing up in Paint 3200,
though, so I know it's alive, although I haven't the slightest idea as
to what causes it. For anyone experiencing thiis problem,please send me mail
telleing me about the problem, and about your system. I'm beginining to think
it's a memory linked thing, as it only started showing up in Paint 3200
after it got to be fairly large.

Hmm, I haven't heard about this one before. How many is 'quite a few?' Again,
what's your system configuration--I've got 2.25 Megs in my GS, which means
II have very few memory conflicts.
