Oh yes, Joanie!  Me too. SPECTACULAR.  

You know, Peter's going to hate you as much as me finding
this kind of thing!  (BIG SMILE)

I think I just confirmed this, but am reporting just in case
it's a
different problem.  In order to test something else, I wrote
"This is a
test." In a new Duxbury print document.  I then selected it,
copied it, held
down Control V and kept it held down to rapidly fill up the
document with
text.  It locked up around line 26 and sent CPU usage to
100%.

Take care.
Joanie

Lissa,

Brilliant.

The we think we've got it.  The problem is rather
embarrasing -- and quite
general, insofar as we can tell.  The program could in fact
lockup at just
about any time.  Faster typing presumably just brings it
about faster.

It will be fixed for beta 4.  Best for now to be very
careful not to depend
on DBT 10.6 beta 3 for time-critical work.  And save
frequently while you're
using it.

- Peter

Woops! All this time I should have said lockup, not crash.
Thanks.
