Mark,

Yes, I can lock it up without running WPDL.
I just tried executing ED and then having the
text spoken and it locked-up after
speaking a few words.
Occasionally I can execute ED a number of times
(without speaking the file) before it will
lock-up.
I just tried running HTMSTR a few times on a file
with no problem.

later,

Carl
