Text file editor:
The hot-keys for Cut (Shift+Del), Copy (Ctrl+Ins),
Paste (Shift+Ins), and Clear (Ctrl+Del) commands
available in the File|Edit menu do not seem to work
sometimes. An alternate set of conventional Ctrl+K
binding hot-keys is always available for these commands.

crashes the computer system sometimes.
RAM memory exhausted:
In addition to the description in the manaul, this bug
can also appear even if there is enough memory for an
operation. In this case, MEGA is experiencing a conflict
with some memory resident program. Please try to remove
these memory resident programs and check if MEGA runs.
Future enhancements:
New tree-printing functions:
Support for PostScript vector format outputs to printers
and text files.
PCX graphics output for editing in other graphics editors.
Support for more printers.
Choice line width for drawing.
Choice of page margins.
Choice of more fonts.
