this is nice to hear. that bug IS a pain. i tend to avoid the sql editor entirely now, and use cut'n'paste to a "real" editor. or in the case of SQL*Plus, if you set the "spool" directory to a known location, then you can save "script" files to that directory, and then just say "start xxxxxxx" in sql*plus.

it is a work around. i look foreward to the bug fix...
