Actually, I did check.  A query on 'eGroups' came up empty.  But going
to 'eScribe' today turned up the old stuff.  I'll try to remember to
only look on eScribe in the future.

Just a bit.  It's better than the typical MS error message (Error
0x35FB8A has occurred.  System halted), but it still doesn't tell you
anything useful.  I spent a lot of time looking for something that would
let me manipulate the insertion point.  Finally had to dig through the
source code, where I found 4 instances of the error message in 2
different functions.

Hey Palm guys - any chance of getting this sort of stuff cleaned up? 
Most of your stuff is great, but running into error messages like this
can sure be confusing for poor dumb newbies like me.
