- Unfortunately, this doesn't 'solve' the problem; it just puts it off
- because there are twice as many resources available and Windows 3.1 is
- better with them than Windows 3.0 was. The problem can still happen

- 3.1, Crosstalk for Windows, and the file browser from CommandPost; the
- only thing I was really closing and restarting was Solitaire).
