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. Monica Lofton Independent broker for Ameriplan

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. -- Ann K.
