Not sure if I should be happy or irritated. :) > Regards, > Ron Ok, Bad news, medium news, good news. Bad news..... Bug confirmed. I was able to duplicate exactly what Ron described. Medium news...... It's not a new bug. I tracked it all the way back to the beginning of "search in page". If you get this as an individual mesasage (not in the digest), you'll see from the mailer line in the header that I'm using v1.40;final_beta That's when F7 or / was first enabled for searching in the page. (just crash her a few minutes ago with the procedure outlined by Ron) Good news..... I will begin searching the SRC code for the cause and cure to this bug. -- Glenn McCorkle mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] North Jackson, Ohio, USA Visit http://www.naf.cz/arachne/ Web browser for DOS.
