This is me, in case you missed the flow of the conversation.

)          Yes that problem was reported to me by Jim Crotinger. It is fixed in
)the latest version (3.649, now available on BIX). Jim sent me a uue'd capture

That's what I call service.  I posted a rough description of the problem at
MFECC at Livermore, Jim suggested I uuencode a capture file demonstrating
the problem and send it to Willy, and I just went back to using other
emulators like the slug I am.  He tracked down the circumstances that produced
the problem, reproduced it, and sent a demo of it to Willy, who apparently has
fixed it.  I just got version 3.649 this morning, because Jim sent me email
informing me that he had posted the new version at MFECC and that it supposedly
fixed my problem.  I'll check soon.

Kudos to them both.

Next time I have a VLT problem I think I'll just go to the restroom while at
the movies and mention it to the guy at the next urinal and see how long it
takes before the VLT network has the problem tracked down and cleaned up. :-)

On second thought, I'll go to the trouble to send a uuencoded capture file
to Willy.

It is a very nice program by the way, and since I just got AREXX it will
be even nicer.
