I've been having similar problems.  I don't have a TWGS, so that's not the
problem.  I guess it's just a (very) buggy program - cut, paste, and
deleting a block always give me garbage near the end of my file; when I
try to drag the thumber on the scroll bar up, it often crashes, and the 
resource editor just doesn't work.  The system has some real possibilities,
but right now it's hindered by a ver buggy interface.  The APW version
I've heard is a lot more reliable, but I don't know if TML II is available
for APW.
