Hi Tom,
 
  Well, based on your report I started doing some serious checking and found
that a keyboard driver (for Greek), that I've been using for the past 7 or 8
years, and has NEVER caused any problems before is the culpret!
 
  Before the daze of Win95 this driver was loaded at boot-up in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT and now I'm calling it from a batch file when I open a DOS
window. It caused no problems when used with PBv3.2 and causes no problems
with Qedit. (I don't know about v3.5 revision A)
 
Strange......
