Hi all,
        here's a MEGA problem I discovered with the PowerBasic editor.
1) Take a file you're not worried about getting corrupted, and view it in
the editor.
    The file should be about 450 lines long, and roughly 45 char. per line.
2) Open another file, and copy a line from it in to the clipboard.
3) Paste it to the first file.
4) OK, so everthing seemed to go OK right?
    WRONG!! take a look at the last 20 or 30 lines of your program code.
 If your lucky, it's just got corrupted. If your unlucky like I was, half
the lines
are missing, and the rest are garbage.
 
This is using 3.5 with the upgrade....
Anyone else had the same problem?
 
It doesn't seem to happen if you don't use the clipboard.
