Ooo, you are right Michael, I've had it in the past where if there were
large amounts of text in either the message box response field or in a
variable window (if you double click a variable in the variables list) that
has a large amount of data, then it would be a tad slower. But I get that
on the mac too interestingly. I just tried it by copying soo lorum ipsum
into the message box response field. So this isn't limited to Windows.
Interesting.
