- I am not sure if this is a Workbench or a Wordworth problem, but we
- are aware that this happens and we have passed details of this problem
- onto the programmers of Wordworth to look into.
-
- The only way to get out of this loop is to flip to the Workbench
- screen and delete some files from the disk.
