When I run vmh -vmhproc msh |the screen splits normally, the top window shows a scan of msgbox and I |get the (vmh) prompt in the bottom window okay. If I scan then the bottom |screen fills up but then immediately clears and I am left with a blank |bottom window apart from the (top: bottom:) prompt. A refresh will not |repaint the missing text and I can get the next screen but all I see is |a quick flash of the bottom line of text before it disappears. The problem is that vmh thinks that it knows how curses is implemented, and insists on "diddling the private bits" of the WIN structure. Unfortunately it gets it wrong for System V curses. I have the patches to MH 6.7.1 lying about somewhere, and should probably post them, or something. - David
