Hi Mike,

I'd fault the error message! It should say 'Null memos cannot be copied' Since, how can you copy 'unknown' to a text file. <G> Help and HackFox make no mention that NULL memos cannot be copied. (As I'm SURE you're aware. <G>)

Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to add null-checking wherever I use copy memo.
