If a file name has been erased using the delete key. Then the user
Right arrows FWD into the inverse bar area. The right arrow becomes
an undelete key. Though invisible (and unintended) screwy things
happen when a char is subsequently entered.

The fix:
bload stacker , A$2000 ,tsys
poke 10525,176
bsave stacker ,A$2000, L12033, tsys

There is no substitute for beta testers and for better or worse
anyone using stacker is a defacto beta tester.


On a side note.
It has come to my attention that Word2.2, The scramble word search
utility for appleworks, is very system specific. Varying volumes
online, reversed yes/no, Etc is not tolerated.

In short this was something I never should have uploaded. But I did
and someone wanted to use it with AW 5.1. Properly done 2.2 should
have worked. Word 2.2 became word5 with these things in mind.
I think it's fairly robust. It has been tested on 4.x and 5.x
and on several machines.

With traffic here so light anymore I'm not going to bother uploading
it. If word2.2 didn't work for you and you want word5 I'll
be glad to dig it up and send it.
