Hi Robert, it's actually Picster that beleives the crashing is from using italics in the IDE. I was trying to change a DEFINE OSC statement and every time I hit a key it would crash. This happened only to the file from my flash drive. I could edit files on my hard drive? I switched to non italics, just in case this actually is the cause.

I think a real test would be to leave italics checked. When a crash occurs switch to non-italics and see if it stops.

If you read through both threads on this subject. You will find there is no pattern or consistancy, so difficult to trouble shoot.
