Does this mean that the command "EMPTY" no longer works??!

On a sort of related topic, is there anybody out there running 3.5 on a PC?
I was wondering if the following bugs had been fixed:

1) The built-in editor running out of space
2) Incomplete support for some font-related commands with Widgets
3) Non-standard behaviour in the Windows environment. Specifically,
version 3.1 doesn't seem to respond to ^C unless there is I/O to the
screen. Consequently, the only way out of a computationally intensive
mistake is Ctrl-Alt-Del. However, this frequently results not in the usual
Windows "Application is not responding, do you want to kill it" message,
but in an ungraceful crash out of Windows. This is irritating.

Please post any information about 3.5 on the PC, as I'd be very interested.
