Apology accepted.

MT C-Shell, version 1.10, works just fine.  I used it for a long time
before 1.20 was released.  It's not false advertising.  What you observed
was not a bug, just a case of improper installation.  Admittedly, the
documentation is inadequate.

If you buy Beckemeyer's online manual, it also has the BUGS headings.

Disclaimer:  I am not, nor have I ever been, associated with Beckemeyer.
I have been, for the most part, a satisfied user of his software since
he introduced MT C-Shell for the Atari ST.  I can recommend any of his
ST titles without reservation, with the exceptions of VSH Manager (too
slow) and AnsiTerm (licensed, not written by David Beckemeyer, it was
released with many bugs).
