Fernando, I just tried this and got the same results (I had line-numbers turned off, though). I'm running v8.2 on Win NT 4.0. Looks like you've found a bug. That doesn't happen when I use the Enhanced Editor (the one I normally use). Walter

>>> Fernando Colina <Fernando.Colina@UMB.EDU> 14:31:09 04-Jan-02 >>> I've found that in two Windows installations of SAS 8 e, SAS does the following:

A) open a file using the 'recent files' menu; B) Select at least 20 lines of text, starting from the first line; C) Right-mouse click on the selection and choose 'edit--->copy' from the drop-down menu; D) Left-mouse click on the 'File' menu; E) SAS quits without warning.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm using the non-enhanced program editor with line numbers turned on.
