Re: TN5250 Crash After Paste (Vista)

By all means, try that...  enable the trace function and see if you can 
replicate it.  It *might* help, though I don't know that there's 
sufficient info in the trace file to help me debug a problem like this.

However, I don't have access to a Vista machine.  So even if I think I 
find the solution, I'm not sure how I could tell that my solution worked.
