If you use a hack like MyMenu, all bets are off. >-- >Steve Walton Not *ANY* program Steve, I use MyMenu extensively (at least until 1.4, right Commodore-Amiga!!!!! Hint Hint...) and VT100 is the only one that I have that hangs, I have one that uses ARP requesters to change between drives/sub- directories and it does NOT hang, have not tried HandShake yet (cuz I do NOT use it but maybe once every 6 months when I 'need' 132 column mode.. and it looks like VT100 2.8 (which I can GURU also at 'will'...) is the only one that does this... and once the program with Arp requesters gets the VT100 support he has promised I will quit using VT100 totally...
