Yep. First things first. Use only the 68000 version on a screen mode no
higher than PAL Hi Res Laced. This will make it much more stable.
Also make sure the MUI toolbar settings are set to Text Only.

Cursor behaviour is pretty flaky at the moment. If worst comes to worst,
edit your text in the source window.

Lesson 1 Keep the edit window open at all times :)

MetalWeb certainly does look promising. It has some faults which still leave
