    Gents:

    Under WinME, do others see a one-letter transposition during copy/paste?

    That is:
    IF the string <$ XYZ > is copy/pasted to a line with the immediately
    succeeding string < $ ABC > then what one expects to get on that line is
    the concatinated string: < $ XYZABC >.
    Instead of this expected string, one invariably gets: < $ AXYZBC > !!!

    Thus, the last character ( A ) in the original string is transposed to
    the beginning of the concatinated string like ( AX .... )

    Another example is:

    < she sells seashells > C/P---> <The quick brown fox > .... gives the
    string :
            < Tshe sells seashells he quick brown fox >

    Sorta looks like: from my Fortran/C days ... if I were storing text info
    in multi-dimensional string arrays, one of the subdimensions got started
    counting with a ( 1 ) not a ( 0 ) ...%^/ . I have NO idea how ABW
    actually keeps track.

    I'm running: ABW_1.0.2 / WinME_4.7 fully updated / AMD_900 .
