Might even be a ConText issue... It's not a ConText issue. I used ConText too for a while, and switched to TextPad. But the problem occurs also when i start apps with mirc's /run command. This happens for nearly every include file, nearly every time, for *every* instance of Eu i start, which is why i use a separate /bin/ and /include/ for each and every "thread" or instance or application. Sometimes, a file will be locked up for the duration of the run, making it impossible for another application (including NotePad/TextPad) to use it. Kat
