Summary: Underscore bombout is bad, but not WORST


I'd just like to add a few words to the discussion of the bombout caused by
typing an underscore in the path section of the file selector box.  On my 1040
ST, the symptoms are immediate termination with (I think) 6 bombs, followed a
few seconds later by 10 bombs and complete lockup.  However, the reset button 
still works, and the files in my resettable ramdisk survive.  By my standards,
that makes it a medium-hard crash.  If you haven't tried to put too many char-
acters in an alert box, or hit too many tabs while testing a dialog box in K-
Resource, you haven't _lived_.
