Same thing happened to me.  I just stopped using the damn program.
I'll give it another try when the author updates it and kill some
of the more annoying bugs.  I have no problem shelling out
shareware fees, but I demand a workable program in return.  Zterm
also seems to crash my MacIIcx on a far more regular basis than
any other program (except Boomerang).

Cheers,

Chris
