Ian Collier at wri suggested that X Front Ends built in Dec. 1994 should be used to correct crashes in the front end upon certain key strokes. We recently upgraded all of our versions of Mathematica when our site license came up for renewal. The front end that came with the upgrade apparently has a bug which causes it to abort in certain cases when a carrage return is inserted in existing cells. This occurs on both Sparcs and SGIs. It doesn't seem to matter what the kernal is doing because once the frontend crashes, the abort can be reproduced by merely reopening the notebook and inserting the carrage return in the appropriate cell. The kernal is never started. Has anyone else had trouble with the frontend distributed with the Sparc or SGI version 2.2.3 of mathematica? Scott Herod
