Use a "delay" 
  value of 500 and see if that helps the write-in problem.  You say it 
  "consistently hangs".  Elaborate on that.  How many ballots does it 
  play before it hangs?  The first ballot?  The test script I sent you 
  ran for 240 and it had write-ins.  Were you running a different script in 
  the second test?  Different database?
   
  Ken,
  Use a "delay" value of 
  500
  OK
   
  consistently 
  hangs
4 attempts at 
  recording and playing back new script.. short test, same data base, one 
  precinct(precinct #1) ,repeat 1, delay 100,  voting only the 
  1st write in position with "A".

    Your script 
    KEN1.MRE ran for 240 repeats with 4.0.7 before I shut it 
    down.
    Totals are 
    good.
     
    Now for the 
    problem:
     
    AVTS CE 4.0.7 
    Ballot Station
     
    Recording with 
    4.0.7 apparently ok.
    Playback 
    consistently hangs at the write-in recording window, no recorded characters 
    are displayed, cursor is in input window.
    When powered off 
    and then back on the .mre file is lost, erased.
    Tried recording 
    with 4.0.6, playback with 4.0.7, same result.
    Your script was 
    run again and still works the write-in ok.
