The buggy part of it, I've found, is that even if you set destructive backspace OFF in the configuration file, it will be ON in the Alt-O/ Terminal Options menu when you start Telix. In theory, the configuration file should govern the initial setting, so that even if you dial directly (atdt), without using the dialing directory, the options will be set the way you want them. It's in this sense that Telix seems to keep resetting it to ON - it's not reading its own configuration file properly. David Black dblack@pilot.njin.net
