I was using MacWrite (4.5) on a document that was on an almost-full disk. After I had added lots of text, MW put up an alert box that said something like "Your disk is almost full. Saving your document may free some disk space". Naturally I took its advice. I finish editing, printed a proof copy, saved and quit. Next day, I decided to make some changes to the document, so I dbl-click, and (HORROR!), a button appeared with the text "Cannot open file" or some such. The only thing I could do was to click the button & quit. There was 7K left on the disk, so I copied the file to another disk with lots of room. Same thing happened. Has anyone else had this problem, or did I do something wrong? If the latter, what was it? (I have recovered most of the text using the macrescue program that was posted some time ago.) By the way, I have found that the "New Keycaps" DA "bombs" if you open it in MacWrite after you've been editing a document for some time. The cure is to compact memory first with the "Extras" DA that was posted at the same time as the "Keycaps" DA. Does ANYONE know how to use the "Paint Grabber"? Thanks in advance for any comments. -- Sak Wathanasin,uucp:...mcvax!ukc!cvaxa!sakw arpa/janet: sakw%svga@ucl-cs
