That would work, though I wouldn't be game enough to run a BBS in local
mode, as the sysop keys are usually available. :-)

Yeah, editors seem to be the worst case, whether DOS or OS/2. :-)
Remonds me of the MS-DOS editor locking up DOORWAY sessions under DOS.
:-(  As for elvis, I can see that working.  I have it here, though in
the Linux flavour.  Don't care much for vi style editors myself
though...
