This is primarily intended for Judith, but if anybody else has any input, that
would be fine with me.

I seem to have run into a repeatable circumstance where code is obliterated. 
I'm not sure I can create a small repeatable example, but here is the code that
will do it at my end.  Take a normal text box and look at the onKeyUp event. 
Code it with:

w32VOID=message_box(sprintf("The value of the key is:[%14.6f]",params[1]),"",0)

Then run the program and input something which will cause a crash.  On my
system, that is just typing C twice.

When you go back and look at the onKeyUp event in the IDE, it will be gone.

I mention this not because I'm losing one line of test code.  I mention this
because after a crash, the routine that was in the process of executing is
sometimes obliterated.  It happened to me a couple of times with a
Window/[General] code block  [a BIG one].  When that happened, I was not very
happy.  But since I couldn't reliably replicate it and it happened so
infrequently, I just implemented a "save the project file frequently" habit and
went about my way.

Now that I can reliably reproduce a code obliteration, I thought the least I
could do is to mention it here so that if somebody wants to spend the time to
track down the bug, they can and maybe more importantly, to encourage backing up
the prj file "just in case."
