I used to use Flash occasionally as an editor while online ( before I switched
to Uniterm :^) - thanks Simon!), but I never ran across the phantom typist
while doing so - in fact I've never had it happen to me.  I have the 85 ROMs
and normally have some fairly minor accessories running - the control panel
and so forth.  What kind of things were you doing when it hit?
