Hello Mervyn, sorry this took so long. The BBS I am a point off has been
down for two+ weeks! I think he went on holiday and left no co-sysop
in charge. Also no local message of explanation.

     All of this may be because I use AnsiPlus. One of Denis's progs
     did not work for me until I booted without Ansiplus.
     The fade works, it fades slowly, but the delays did not make it fade
     any slower, so I removed them.

     (and a wink). Is that not a long beard?   
     I wanted to send this off right away. I'll play with the code now...
Kind regards, Barry
