Anne, I haven't had this particular thing happen, but I have had my block 
pasted in the wrong place when I knew I had my cursor in the right place. 
This has happened in the calendar. I've seen a command in there for undoing 
the block. Maybe that would help you for next time.

Subject: [Braillenote] odd occurrance


Hi all,

I had a weird one happen yesterday, and I think I know why.  Here's
what happened, as close as I can reproduce it.

1.  I had a fairly long file, say 8 to 10 pages.  I was editing it.

2.  At one point I began to mark a block, preparing to move it.  I had
    placed the top-of-block marker and was moving the cursor down to
    mark the bottom, when I realized that the top-of-block marker was
    wrong, it had been placed in the wrong place.

3.  Being conditioned as I am, I used space with E to exit, thinking
    that doing this would erase the marker which had been incorrectly
    placed.

4.  The BN paused about forty-five seconds then ran through a bunch of
    things with the Braille display clicking madly.

5.  When I looked, my whole file was gone, poof, just gone,  the whole
    blessed file just gone into the ether.

I tried exiting out to the main menu and reloading the file, still
blank, nada.  I was, to put it mildly, irritated.  Fortunately, I had
a second copy of this file which I had exported to Word.  So I loaded
up that file and saved it as a KWB file.  I'm beginning to wonder if
the clipboard ate my file by mistake.  I can't prove it because I
continued my editing job and the clipboard has long since been
flushed.  However, I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone
else.  I have heard people complaining that they've lost whole files
before, and I'd be curious to know if this happened while using the
block commands.    I'm wondering if, when I discovered my file had
disappeared, I'd done a paste command, if my file would have
obediently come out of the clipboard?  Thoughts?  Comments?

Ann P.
