	Okay, okay.  I guess I should have known that the minute I wrote that
article, someone was going to be able to make WordPerfect crash.  On demand
no less.
	I think the example proves my point though.  That's not a very common
demand upon the system that was made by the diabolical Mr. Pim.  If that's
what it takes to crash the system, I'm still pretty happy with it.
	Actually, though, maybe I'm not.  The idea of using it in interlace
kind of appeals to me.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem, or an
elegant workaround?  I'd be interested in hearing about it.
	However, the point still stands.  My hat's off to Mr. Pim.  It's funny,
but although he doesn't know it, I've been meeting up with Mr. Pim my entire
life.  Whenever I make a statement of absolute fact he's waiting there in the
background.  Or am I wrong?! :-)
