I can't believe I am back here so soon  I just tried to get rid of some white space in text file. I put a left caret (<) in column 67 on the BNDS line. I then typed '((6' in one line number field and '((' in another. When I pressed ENTER all line were completely shifted to the left by six bytes. The data in columns 1-6 was effectively erased. This is certainly worse than the text-split problem from yesterday! Sorry to be a thorn in your side, Rick |

DinoRick: No thorn at all, a bug is a bug. I'm just amazed it's never been reported before. Hope you had UNDO active.

UNDO was active, thankfully. I share George's amazement. I could hardly believe it myself when it happened.
Robert: Are you confusing this with the text-split problem I opened the previous day? This one is for column shift, but both involve BNDS.

Rick: Robert: This was one of those OMG, what happened here events. There are a couple related Profile flags involved, and at some point, I seem to have created another indicator and then totally mucked up the which-is-which variable name scenario. Effectively, for many commands, the BNDS support was turned off. I've removed the new variable and hopefully pointed everyone to the correct flag for testing.
Boy, I'd sure like to recall just what I was trying to accomplish in there, it made no sense whatsoever.
This fix will be in the 7.0 release.

I am downloading 7 tonight. I already did it on my work computer, so thank you very much for the cross-hairs. We have been in crisis mode at work for the last week, so I don't know when I can try the other items that we discussed, but thanks in advance for your efforts. You guys are astounding.
