Chem-86 is a great program but I also noticed that after it is done, 
characters are covered up when you move backwards.  One other thing I 
noticed is that while massing a compound with () it gave me an incorrect 
answer.  I don't remember what the compound was but it was something like 
Ba(OH)2.  I don't know that much about asm so I can't tell what it is, 
but I think the coding may be off a little when using parenthesis.

Note- I haven't been using any shells.
