The problem: after a cut/copy text operation of about 30 lines in a script "window", I go to another window to paste the text. The paste succeeds, I click "OK", and HC tries to write out the change. Unfortunately, it keeps writing...and writing...and writing...until I reboot. Once I let it run for about 5 minutes. This kills my stack, of course. S/w: sytem 6.0, hc 1.2.1; h/w: Mac+, 1MB ram, 2 800K floppies, all h/w as-delivered. I believe that I was a little low on disk space at the time, but not completely out (maybe 100K free on each). After many reboots & retries, I reached a point where adding even 5 lines would cause this behavior. Has anyone else seen this? I suspect that I ran into a limit on the script length, but the # of lines in the script (was the Stack script, BTW) was about 300. Is this excessive? I would prefer not to hear that HC is no longer supported on "only" a dual-floppy system, but if that is the case, do tell..... chris... (anyone have a 20Mb disk they're not using? :-) -=- cml@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu Computer Science Department, OSU 614-292-6542 or: ...!{att,pyramid,killer}!osu-cis!cml
