   What I find recently is an attempt to save a Tagline pops up the   
   blank line and I have to type it in myself. I was pretty sure it   
   didn't used to do that..   
      
   In another conference one fellow (OGG) found a message I'd posted   
   was totally messed up, lines out of order and some left off, but   
   my message was nothing near 153 lines, more like 50 or so..

   I use QuickEdit with my SLMR.. I hadn't though of trying a second   
   copy opened to see what I can do. I know hitting Print Block didn't   
   really do anything.   
      
   One thing I may have to try out is I can split screen in QuickEdit   
   and possibly there's a way to save the extra screen outside of SLMR   
   (But I have my doubts)..   
      
   I think things running in DOS Box are too far removed from Windows   
   to transfer anything over. That said, it was mostly copy and pasting   
   text INTO a message that I was looking to do most often, although   
   the odd time I do copy something out of a message, and if it's any   
   length at all, with SLMR Open, I go to the SLMR Folder in Windows   
   and into the Work/Messages.dat file and I load that into my basic   
   Windows editor (Win32pad) and search for the text I wanted to copy   
   and then clean it up..
