(munch, munch)

I found a *very* annoying bug in hypercard:  When typing in a text field,
the cursor will suddenly disappear whenever the program does one of its 
"autosaves".  This is terrible, since I have to manually re-place the cursor
back where it belongs before I can continue.  I am trying to type in
extensive notes on papers in my references stack.

System info:
MacPlus (1 meg)
Rodime 20 Plus hard disk
External drive (800k) ; not used
Finder 6.0, with corresponding System.
Multifinder *not* used.

I also noticed the same problem under the previous Finder and System

Any help would be Greatly appreciated!

p.s.
	I "assume" the problem is during a save, since the hard disk is
being accessed at the same time...
