I followed your posts about crashes with copy/paste but I thought those 
were with the Windows version (and I'm guessing I'm correct since you 
mention Word and Excel).  If this problem also affects x5250 (which runs 
on linux/*nix/*BSD) then that would be significant as it would indicate 
that the problem lies in the library code and not the front end code.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
