On my 120 (NOS 2.0), that I installed 1.31 on, when I tried this I had
the scribble area hidden. (Actually I didn't know about it yet.) I
didn't get the error with it. On my 2100 with the scribble area hidden
I do get it with 1.30. AFAIK, there are no text handling packages
installed. I know I haven't installed any, and when I got the Newt the
only things other than the default software that were installed were
the reset bomb and heap saver apps.
i haven't had the chance to try switching to 1.31 on it yet. When I do.
I'll let everybody know what the results are.
