 From memory I would say that 99.9% of the time (and maybe all of the 
time), my crashes are a result of copying from a non-5250 app (could be 
anything) and pasting in to tn5250.  It can happen coming from Word, 
Excel, Firefox, Notepad, etc.

I can't recall it happening from one 5250 session from another though, 
although it could have and I just to not recall.
