Cannot?
Many people only have English to talk and think... perhaps that could explain 
why their speech and ideas are worthles  ;0)

You are right, I clearly stated that changing user habit was only a 
palliative.

Personally I don't belive one can bluntely declare a computer is deterministic 
(not sure about the word) and the same actions should always produce the same 
effect. After all it is never exactly in the same state when you think you 
are just redoing the thame thing. Those bugs are hard to track.

If you mean that "first there is a mountain, then there is not, then there 
is"  :0)
either take some rest or consider it is a bug. 
Or perhaps a memory check?

Other mails in this thread comforted me in the thinking that problems occur 
when transferring files... but I'm not sure your problem is related.

Of course whe should ask that all all languages with an alphabet (plus a few 
diacriticla marks) should be supported. I have no idea how it is possible to  
deal with other languages like chinese (and haven't taken the time to 
investigate yet... so  many other things to do 	:0(	:0) 	)
