i'm afraid i shelved the problem at the time to get on with deadline 
stuff.  but it is rearing its head again today, and this time i HAVE 
got Reporter running.  here are the relevant lines from the log:

i don't know where these "Claimfiles" would be, to check what's in 
them.  presuming it might be in my Choices, i put a copy of my 
!StrED_cfg here:  www.abbeypress.net/TEMP/stred.zip (30K)

as i mentioned before, in SOME sessions, StrongEd behaves perfectly, 
but every once in a while this glitch occurs and a reboot is the only 
cure.

thanks for any clues.  --jim
