I have a peculiar problem with VP/ix.  I'm running version 2.2.1 (but this
has happened ever since I put 2.2 on the new machine).  When I run VP/ix from
any of the sessions on the console (i.e., not a pseudo-tty or serial line),
VP/ix fires up just fine, but as soon as I type 'quit' to return to UNIX,
the entire monitor turns a mottled-pattern of gray and is illegible.  Going
back into VP/ix clears up the screen, but coming out still leaves it screwed
up.  Note also that it's screwed up on all the vt??s and console after only
ONE of the sessions (thus I believe it's playing with the VGA card or similar
trick).

Any illumination on the source of and remedy for this problem is greatly
appreciated.

Salut

Brian
