The 32-bit doesn't run on DOS, where all the display problems you mention occur. And it's still
XPL...U2 would still work.

There is one interesting problem Dave Erikson mentioned. You can't stop macros using Ctrl/Break. He
says that you can't interrupt a process (my term...probably wrong) with the keyboard. You have to
use a "message". Which means you'd have to build something to deliver the message...or
just kill the application (Xy). That's how Dave does it.
