- I'm using the online help as a reference. Judging from the clip
- you have below, I would wager that I did not receive an updated online help
- file in the distribution, but an old one. I will check on this right away.
- I _assumed_ the archive was complete and made an ass out of me and me.

- I'm referring to the final release version. What I'm saying is
- that while I have skimmed the 1.00 docs on the screen, I have read the beta
- rel2 docs cover to cover on paper. I am not new to Arn, merely having
- trouble with the release version. If my archive is incomplete, that will
- cure most of my problems I'm sure. The only other thing I've noticed is a
- lot of unexplained crashes when posting articles (ie. exiting the selected
- editor and when Arn goes to post the text file). This is my second attempt
- to do this followup. Sometime the crash is total and complete (ie.
- grey-grey-white-software failure, and sometimes just a requestor crash.
- More on this later if I see a pattern to the crashes.
-
- Once again, my apologies to Roland if my archive is incomplete or
- in error. I don't remeber where I FTP'ed it from, sorry.
