And I hate auto-correct. :-) I find it interrupts my
concentration when writing. But I do love auto-replace. I use
that heavily.

Available memory is the likely culprit. File size doesn't
matter. I have the same problem with a 5 Kb file or a 50 Kb
file. I've noticed that available memory is much lower than I
would expect--something around 50 Kb or so. I can have EMS set
to 4096 Kb in my DOS settings for XyWrite and the memory
situation doesn't change. Oddly enough, I can shell from
XyWrite to DOS and enter mem /c and I'll have about 440 Kb of
memory free, with XyWrite taking up 100 Kb or so. But I guess
this comes from some of XyWrite code being swapped out of memory.

I'm stumped.
