Well spotted. MiniTime sends the entire string at once and it seems Edit
can't cope with that. Sending a selected block of text (> 20 chars) from
StrongED shows the same effect.

The solution is simple, send fewer chars at once and call Wimp_Poll
inbetween. Easy but a bit of a faff, I was hoping it wouldn't be
necessary anymore in this day and age.

Cheers,
Fred.
