While working in MS Word 3.01 I came across a very interesting, but very
harmless bug.  I got a little confused when saving a file and Word asked
me to inserted Disk X into the drive.  Not knowing where Disk X was and 
being to lazy to search for it (through the clutter on my desk) I hit
CMD-Period, to dismiss the dialiog box.  Fine it disapared just as expected.
Then I wanted to save the file on Disk Y.  Knowing this I inserted Disk Y into
the drive and then went to do a Save As.  A dialog box appeared asking me to 
insert Disk Y.  But since Disk Y was already in the drive Word just went on
to save the file.  However It NEVER disposed of the dialog box requesting
Disk Y.  The interesting thing is that after the save everything seemed to
function normally except that part of my document was covered with a dialog 
box.

BTW: I wasing using a MacII with MF, but I don't think MF is the entire 
cause of the problem.  It seems that Word or the operating system wanted
a disk inserted event before it would dispose of the dialog box.

Sorry if this was a bit confussing, but it seemed interesting to me.
