App:=Write

Situation: Recovery from crash.

Dialogue box message reads:

"Please help us to solve the problem ... Click 'Next' to open the 
Error report Tool.

Problem:  No button labelled 'Next' is presented to the user.  The 
two choices available are 'Start Recovery' and 'Cancel'

Suggestion: Either change the text in the message or on the button so 
that both are congruent.

Comment:  One of the most annoying things about most message boxes 
associated with error reporting in Windows based systems is the 
inability to select and copy the exact text of the message using the 
mouse or keyboard.  As this information is often of great interest to 
those supporting the product one would think that that this 
capability would be made available to users if for no other reason 
than to make things as easy as possible for people to report the 
entire and exact error message that they are getting.

Suggestion:  All message dialogue boxes should allow the selection 
and copying of text (and graphics for that matter) to a clipboard and 
permit pasting this into other applications.

I will get to the cause of the crash next.
