Neither can I.  It only happened the first day I used it, but since then, I
can't fault it at all.  I still thought you'd like to know, and I sent that
message before the problem cleared anyway.

Reply/quote.  I have actually reassigned all of my keystrokes to emulate
those of OLX, and don't use any of the Alt-n combinations at all.  Haven't
you seen my msged.cfg before?  You'd be quite impressed actually.  :)

PE> Does it still do it when you exit msged and restart. 

Yep, but not after I rebooted.  I exited a number of times, and even ran
SQINFOP just in case the msg base was somehow corrupted, but could find no
obvious problems elsewhere.  Since rebooting, it has worked 100% perfectly.

PE> Are you using the latest alpha?

Of course.  I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise.

Reply/quote again, which is lower-case "r" on my machine.  It's
academic now, as I can no longer reproduce it either.

Not necessarily.  You have changed parts of the source for each version,
and have used god-only-knows how many different compilers, so new bugs are
unlikely to be continued aross versions, wouldn't you say?

That DOS exe works fine here, and I will be taking it with me to Sydney
tonight for extended testing on Jack's 486DX33 8Mb DOS/QEMM box.
