Yes. The problems are a documented bug in version 1.5 of WinQVT/Net.

No, you are not doing anything wrong. In fact, it sounds like you
have everything set up correctly.

SOLUTION:  Get Version 1.6 of WinQVT/Net. I know it exists because
I received my copy of it in the mail last week. (It pays to be a
registered user.) I haven't checked the usual archives, but I'd
expect a copy of it to show up at cica, SIMTEL20, etc.

If you can't find it on cica, let me know. I will upload the
shareware part of the package. (Sorry, it wouldn't be fair if I
uploaded the 800x600 screen fonts for WinQVT/Net. They were
the reason I registered.)

Damn, you have a long .sig

While we are on the subject, I'll repeat the question I still
haven't found an answer to: 

HAs anyone found a way to contact the authors of WinQVT/Net (QPC
Software) by a means other than US Mail? 

I have asked this question several times and, each time, I get
a few "me too" responses. So far, nobody has been able to
offer an electronic way to reach them. The search continues...
