I ran into this *very* annoying problem when I first got my hard drive.  No,
there isn't a new version of MultiScrap out that solves the problem.  Yes,
there is a solution, but it costs -- buy SmartScrap, which is basically a
very fast MultiScrap with two added features: a) it saves in standard
ScrapBook style scrapbooks, and b) it will show you a catalog of everything
in the scrapbook (not very handy for text, but very handy for graphics).
