It hangs for about a minute (to the point where it doesn't even refresh) and eventually all my text suddenly appears and it's all back to normal. Hitting C-g does not seem to do anything while it is hanging. I'd like to figure out how/where it's hanging, but I don't know how I might do so. Suggestions? JDO
