Rick,

Altering the Clip Board ain't the only WILD thing FB does

If you have a Contaminated incl or Program manager and Trash It ..

If you don't EMPTY THE TRASH before you reopen FB & Recompile ..

You have a 50/50 chance that FB will read from the Contaminated stuff in 
the Trash ..

NOW .. I can see why .. Because those things in the Trash are in FB's 
Memory ..

But they shouldn't be .. Once you Quit FB .. Its memory SHOULD be Blanked 
..

I've had FB get a "Wild Hair" notion so bad that a FULL SHUT DOWN .. Not 
a restart .. A full shut down .. was required to get FB to forget the 
Past ..

Andy G. says I'm wrong .. But he said I was wrong about the Clip Board 
stuff

Another FB Shenanigan .. If you have a PICT in ResEdit Open and FB open 
and they overlap on your screen 

You will lose the Cursor in a small rect .. maybe 3 or 4 inches square .. 
of where they over lap .. 

It is hard to catch because the area is so small .. So its happened to 
dozens of people and they never caught it because they didn't need the 
Cursor in the "Twilight Zone"

Guess who was Blamed for that .. ResEdit .. Of course

I got ridiculed as a "Real Dumb Bell" when I posted that a couple years 
back .. 

So I just keep my mouth shut when these weird things pop up ..
