Change your Paste key from
 44=NOJM2,.,c,l,i,p,w,Q2
to
 44=NOJM2,.,c,l,i,p,w,p,Q2

Well, this changes the whole complexion of the thing. CLIP.EXE itself is NOT
crashing. XyWrite is NOT frozen. There's only one place where the thing
loops, and that's in a child frame called AwaitFile. I.e., it's awaiting the
appearance of CLIP.TXT (produced by CLIP.EXE) but not finding it. And you say
that CLIP.TXT *is* present, i.e. produced by CLIP.EXE!

Dio! mi potevi scagliar tutti i mali / della miseria...

Try changing that key assignment first. If that doesn't fix it, we need to
look at AwaitFile. (How AwaitFile could possibly relate to the position in
your file, above or below 50 words, eludes me entirely. There is something out
of kilter on your system, I suspect. I have a rule of thumb here, that before
I blame myself, I blame user error. Inadvertent, to be sure -- but user error
all the same.)
