	I think there is a bug in 2.02 ED that trashs its memory buffers.
  On occasion when you type in an invalid command, its sent to the Arexx
  port.  Sometimes this causes ED to hang--you can scroll around beyond the
  top of the buffer where if you tried typing keys in, you trash memory and
  crash the system.  This bug has me cost more than a few editing sessions.
  Hopefully, this bug is fixed in the newest version.
