[comp.sys.mac] MicroSoft Write 1.0

Well, I've dug through 1K+ messages in the group, and this does seem
like a new question ...

I use MicroSoft Write (yes Write, not Word) for my around-the-house
document preparation on a Mac II, 4MB, with ImageWriter II, and it
exhibits one bug that drives me nuts.  When you print, if you specify
a count other than 1, it apparently is willing to give you an infinite
number of copies (I haven't let it go beyond 6 when asking for 2).
Multi-page documents are weird, too.  The last time I asked for 3 copies
of a 2-page document, I got 3 copies of page 1, then 3 copies of page 2,
then it started on page 1 again before I killed it.

I've written to Redmond just recently, but haven't heard back yet.  Does
this sound like something familiar?  Is it restricted to Write, which is
the only place I see it, or is it a MacBug that appears elsewhere, too?
