G'day Folks,

I've seen a number of posts in here about problems using notepad and other editors with SQL*Plus for windows.

The problem is more of a windows problem. Notepad, and others (like write) do not appear to release mememory cleanly after being exited. After a number of calls, memory gets cluttered with obsolete blocks of memory that are marked as in use.

A fairly easy way around this is to start notepad (I do it in the Startup group) before starting Oracle tools. Leave notepad running at all times, do NOT exit it, write out the file and in plus use an _at_afiedt.buf command. since doing this I've had no further problems.

Hope it helps,
