  Notepad 1.7 on wb 2.0/a3000

Help! 

When I click on my notepad (not that I use it that much), I get the
following :

   "Notepad is looking for Fonts.  Are you there fonts?"

and the first time, my system rebooted,  the 2nd time I had my mouse
freeze and had to reboot, the 3rd time I had a shell open and it
said the same thing but no reboot had to be done, but I still couldn't
close the notepad window.  I could click on the box to close but it didn't
work. Plus my screen updating started to mess up.

I opened the shell to do a  DIR FONTS: and it showed my directory.
My guess is I have too many fonts for the notepad to handle (18 fonts).

I've submitted this question to applications and programmers...
hopefully someone can explain to me what's going on!

System: A3000/25 wb 2.0  notepad version 1.7 

(nothing else was open/running in the background...)

oh and to the guys who know how to define things,  can someone
describe why the Amiga is multitasking compared to an ibm/mac system?
(we don't have 2 cpu's do we? so how can it run stuff simultaneously
without other windows pausing etc...)  I'm new to the amiga and wanta
be able to tell others why it's a true multi-tasking system correctly...
thanks ... Pam (Correct me please! if I'm way off base)

(email is fine or post reply...)
