the one you replied to wa san original... no ANSI in an existing message to get
in the way... the worst part is the homing of the cursor to the top left corner
of the screen and then just writing over whatever is there...

whatever it is, it is annoying and painful to deal with... i had to start over
several times when i replied to one in the BINKD echo because things were just
whack... i dunno and my painfully pinched nerves in my neck are making me quite
the grumpy fellow after wearing my neck brace for three days now with no relief
:( :( :(
