   Could not reproduce this with Orca/Shell 2.0.4 and Editor 2.0.x
(the one that's on the Orca/C 2.1 and /M 2.1 disks). I started the orca
shell, edited a smallish file, and tried a lot of mouse clicking.
What version of Orca/Shell and editor are you using?

   Also, the directory order can drastically change the way all of the
inits/das/cdevs are loaded into memory, which can hide or expose
memory trashing bugs. Try putting GUPP near the top or the bottom of
the system.setup directory with a program like ProSEL-16 or Cat
Doctor.  [Do NOT use Copy ][+ directory sort on your HD!]

   Or, if you have the capability to load only a minimal set of
inits/etc (Initmaster is good, but the 'ShiftyList' init is the best
by far), load only GUPP and IR on boot and try again. If that works,
try loading back some of your other addons one at a time to see what
the fault is.
