Thanks to all who replied.


The answer is:

Word Perfect Office ( WPO ) moves Telnet to extended memory someplace.
When a packet comes in, the packet driver does a FAR CALL to where telnet
used to be.  What ever happens to be there gets executed ( e.g. the middle
of your Lotus spread sheet ).

One suggestion is to use ( a currently non existent ) version of vt100 telnet
that is TSR ( terminate and stay ready ) so you can "hot key" between it
and WPO and its covey of programs.  Currently, only Clarksons TN3270
is TSR.

Any PC vt100 telnets that:
	1) support packet drivers?
	2) are TSR?


Thanks again.
