No, it was on the trainer panel.  What I did was, drop the memory to
1meg/4meg to see if I could get the out of memory problem.  I then launched
Scribia. Opened the character on the list.  The window opened to the trainer
pane.  I then did a scan folder.  It read all the logs.  Then when the
reading logs window went away is when it froze up.  The main window stayed
grayed out in the background.  When I say if froze, it didn't cause a hard
crash which is way I said that it may have been calculating.  The menu clock
stopped and I nothing would respond, but I still had mouse movement.  To
quit, I just dropped into MacsBug (manually, it didn't fall in) and did an
es.  Didn't effect the machine at all, I still haven't rebooted and its been
a few hours.  

The debug view usually takes about 1-2 min to show up for me when doing the
full scan.  I'm decent speed machine, 350 mhz G4.  So, I don't think it was
waiting to draw it.

BTW, anyone ever take a look at that web page outline I threw up about a
week or so ago?
