SYMPTOMS
========

In MS-DOS Editor, when you use the CTRL+Q+Y key sequence to delete text from the
pointer to the end of the line, the operation deletes the whole line.

CAUSE
=====

The CTRL+Q+Y functionality was not implemented correctly in Windows 95. In
Windows 95, this key sequence duplicates the CTRL+Y functionality.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows 95. We are researching
this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
as it becomes available.
