ML>> it was only hidden in the FD terminal, though... right?

 TJM> Nope, ALL terminals.

hummm... i don't see how unless ANSI codes were used to set black on
black... but that means that FD would also have to detect whether or not
ANSI codes were accepted... and nothing can hide stuff on a ASCII
(non-color) terminal...

i keep thinking about it and i just don't see it... i seem to recall the
text always being there... only some terminals, when they are set to look
for it, were very quick in snatching it away... hummm... this could also be
an effect of the complete rewrite that FD went through... i dunno...

i do know that FD sends the EMSI text... it has to so the remote end can
see it to act on it if it wants to... its up to the BBS to send the IEMSI
text and handle that...

are we confusing EMSI and IEMSI?
