Didn't matter, it still crashed almost immediately, regardless of where the
[*] was issued.  A soon as it opened *.SQD, the problems began.

PE> Can you reproduce the results under an OS/2 VDM?  

Nope, it seemed just fine under a VDM.  Weird.

PE> Is the mouse switched off?

Yes (see my switches in the msged.cfg I posted yesterday).  

I have since tried the new one, and I cannot yet fault it.  The only
apparent difference is the lack of memory status on the EchoArea line. 
Apart from that, it looks and works the same (and yes, it DOES work fine
here now).
