That's ok, he got it.

Hmm, make sure that you are using version 2.0, 1.x had problems with line
feeds and carriage returns together.

Whoops.  Sounds like TaskMaster problems.  1- make sure the program you are
running GScii from is nice to nda's by calling taskmaster (or I think
systemtask as well, but 5.0.4 doesn't call the RunQ with that, just taskmaster,
so it leads me to believe that the desk manager may have problems with that).
2- try re-installing your system software.  I know that doesn't sound pretty,
but might help.
