Yes.

You need to copy the packets back as well.

MP> 3) Msged does not accept  combinations, arrow 

MP> I'll try the -k and remapping ALT to CTRL.

That will work with the existing msged, yes.  I discovered that you will
have to actually do a msged -k >temp.txt and then type ctrl-x (or
whatever key you're looking for) and then 'q', and then go and take a look
at temp.txt, because it appears to go into a loop on that.  BFN.  Paul.
