I could be wrong, but it looks to be re-calculated each time through updateBuffer (which would include reloads). Which, Joel, would mean it is reset very often. Not on every keystroke, but almost that often. The user should just expect these auto-calculated things to update, uh, automatically, it seems to me. Riki
