From VT100 V2.7 readme:

	- Nagging bug: On 2nd and subsequent uses of the requester, the
	  1st character of the last use is redisplayed.  Intuition bug?

I got tired of this sucker last weekend, so I tracked it down and 
squished it.

The Answer:
In window.c subroutine req() change:
    /* copy in a prompt and a default */
    strncpy(Prompt,prmpt,lprmpt); Prompt[lprmpt+1] = '\0';
    strncpy(InpBuf,name,lname); InpBuf[lname+1] = '\0';
To:
    /* copy in a prompt and a default */
    strncpy(Prompt,prmpt,lprmpt); Prompt[lprmpt] = '\0';
    strncpy(InpBuf,name,lname); InpBuf[lname] = '\0';
This bug also caused the Prompt field to get munged.

Another irritation with this program:

- req() subroutine in window.c leaves keyboard active in requestor 
  window.  It should re-activate main window.

Add as the last statement in subroutine req() in window.c:
	ActivateWindow(mywindow);

There a couple of other places that this call should be added, but
I haven't tracked them down yet. This takes care of the great majority.

There's another addition I needed, so I put it in while I was in there:

In order to have a beep at completion of kermit file transfer.
In vt100.c add a copy of the the statement:

		cmd_beep();

After each of the following statements:

	    multi_xfer(name,dokreceive,0);

	    multi_xfer("",dokreceive,0);

	    multi_xfer(name,doksend,1);

A better solution would to be to add a flag that could be set in the
init file that would turn on or off beeps for all xfers, and code to
check the flag and do the cmd_beep in multi_xfer.
