I have been able to consistantly recreate a bomb using HC2.02. 
ingle or multiFinder. No inits.
The following script give a script error then bombs with ID -4
upon sclicking the "script' or the "cancel' button.

on mouseUp
   put "0" into something
   put 10 div something
end mouseUp

This is the first time I've ever gotten a system bomb which MEANT
something to me!! ID -4 is "Division by Zero" and that's exactly whet
I had donwe!! 

I don't think this is supposed to havpen. I have not tried repalcing my
system software (v6.05). 

Any clues whether this is a real bug or not?
