Hello,

I have my word counter working, except for one strange behavior: If I 
process a 36k file, the results are displayed just fine. When I process a 
5000k file (1 second!), where the displayed results approach the 32k EF 
limit, the results flash on the screen, then instantly disappear. If I 
then use the scroll bar (drag the thumb down, then up), the text 
reappears as though it had been there all the time.

I have tried all the combinations of WINDOW, EDIT FIELD, WINDOW FILL, 
SCROLL BUTTON and INVALRECT statements I can imagine, all with the same 
results (or worse).

Any ideas? I'll be glad to send the project (32k) to anyone wanting to 
take a look.
