  I have cooked up a pretty nice terminal program that does nice VT-100
emulation (including function keys and keypad). It doesn't support upload
and download and right now the way it does IO is slow...it does requests
for one character at a time. I think if I check to see how many characters
are there I can save alot of time...but that's not what I'm posting about...

I seem to have a very weird problem...it occurs when my program receives
a NULL through the serial port. I have taken great measures to avoid
printing it just in case that was the problem..but it wasn't...
The symptom of the problem is really odd...if my program gets a NULL,
the keyboard locks up and I can't close the window...like something
with the window stuff is messed up...I do my keyboard input using the
RAWKEY option for the window. I just did a little test by printing a NULL
followed by two lines of text and the lines printed!!!  Which means that
the program is still going...just the thing that gets the RAWKEY info
and WINDOWCLOSE has stopped working. I can't understand how a NULL could
cause this...anybody had that kinda problem before ???
