I recently experienced the same problem you referenced on
7/21/95 (Zoomer-list V1 #25) on my Zoomer: sporadic
copying/pasting of text from a notebook entry to the AOL
text e-mail editor.
I discovered, purely by chance, that I couldn't paste
anything from the notebook into the AOL text editor ("old"
version that just came with my Zoomer when I purchased it
from a Radio Shack in 10/93 [don't ask what I paid for it!])
whenever a TAB was included in the portion of text I was
trying to paste. So you have to delete any TABs from the
notebook portion you wish to copy and paste, THEN paste,
then restore any TABs in the notebook if you want to. Don't
ask me why.
You indicate you're in the Expert+ mode in case it might
have any bearing. I'm not. I keep reading about it on the
List -- where/how do I get it? Same with Graffiti -- how do
I get it?
Good luck.
