When I wrote the editor (which Meditor is based on) I thought I was=20
being clever by deliberately not providing for text files that had=20
non-ACSII caharacters, ie, anything above char 127.

I had a quick look at Al's DisplayServer bundle and noticed that this=20
line is in connect.ew:

MultiProcessMessageName=3D"DisplayWindowServerGlobalClass{=CC=C8=C9=CA-X295=
7-Y1523}"


Meditor will corrupt it if the file is edited. Perhaps this is what has=20
happened in which case you must restore the damage.

Another possibility could be that that (the) Win32lib library used by=20
Meditor *might* be interfering with Al's programs.
I have noticed that when I am running a program through Meditor and I=20
try to start some types of other applications, these will
not execute until the first program has finished.

If this anomaly is due to Win32lib then you should try another=20
editor/program runner.
