Windows/WFW
Steve,
The system hangs you've experienced while typing in WfW are now a known
problem under RB Windows. You'll find the situation much improved if you
do your extended stretches of typing in draft mode rather than layout mode.
Also try to use shift+home/delete to wipe out a line of text instead of
leaning on rubout. The same advice goes for users of Ami Pro.
The source of the problem appears to be an interaction between the
architecture of the Rainbow's keyboard interface, on the one hand, and the
extensive keystroke processing of layout mode, on the other. I've worked
on this for a couple of months while revising the keyboard driver for
Windows 3.0 and think I've made some progress, but the trouble arises out
of the Rainbow's architecture rather than out of simple errors in coding
and so won't submit to a quick fix.
Let me know how you fare in draft mode.
