What I find recently is an attempt to save a Tagline pops up the
blank line and I have to type it in myself. I was pretty sure it
didn't used to do that..

In another conference one fellow (OGG) found a message I'd posted
was totally messed up, lines out of order and some left off, but
my message was nothing near 153 lines, more like 50 or so..

I use QuickEdit with my SLMR.. I hadn't though of trying a second
copy opened to see what I can do. I know hitting Print Block didn't
really do anything.

One thing I may have to try out is I can split screen in QuickEdit
and possibly there's a way to save the extra screen outside of SLMR
(But I have my doubts)..

I think things running in DOS Box are too far removed from Windows
to transfer anything over. That said, it was mostly copy and pasting
text INTO a message that I was looking to do most often, although
the odd time I do copy something out of a message, and if it's any
length at all, with SLMR Open, I go to the SLMR Folder in Windows
and into the Work/Messages.dat file and I load that into my basic
Windows editor (Win32pad) and search for the text I wanted to copy
and then clean it up..
