Thanks in advance, > Mike No kidding. On my machine with 8 Meg and 24 Meg virtual free, WRT will come up but run out of memory if I try to save anything. Moreover, it takes more than 5 secs to even come up (ie, turn the cursor into an hourglass to tell me that its loading!) For all of you thinking about Actor, this should tell you about the feasibility of developing useable products in Actor (WRT seems to be written in Actor, because it does need the wrt.ima file). One thing though: its a great satisfaction to delete the darned thing off your hard drive and recover close to a Meg from it! Milan .
