Must be a WinXP thing. I can't repeat this on my Win98\ME machines,
but someone else reported this as well.

Copy and paste is allowed in the debug window. It also has a save
feature.

I tracked down the problem and have it fixed in the next version. It
happens when you run a build of HIDE_2 from the menu. It corrupts the
project file since I have re-directed the output and used command-line
argument 0 to get the executable name. I changed it to use
GetFullPathName instead.

This may also cause the normal HIDE to fail the next time you run it
since both use the same data files. If anyone else encounters this,
the easy way to fix it is to edit Data\hide.ini and delete the key
labeled homepath which will probably look something like:
homepath=..\..\HIDE\

The correct value for homepath should be the location of the HIDE
directory. Deleting this key will cause HIDE to find it's home
directory again.
