- This is a CA gadget. Hmm. Are you sure that you do not have an old
- version of ClassAct installed somewhere else ? If not, what Kickstart
- do you use ?

- Strange. When I use AWeb I can scroll and click, even enter text into
- forms while the page is loaded.

-
- Again strange. I can abort any transfer (although many transfers are
- backgrounded and I need the network window to abort them).

-
- Doesn't happen here. If I move back and forth this works as if the
- pages are loaded from the net, except that there is no network activity.
-
- Since we are using the same AWeb there must be a difference. Did you
- ever try it without Executive ? The scheduler might have some significant
- influence on the behaviour of multithreaded applications.
