I sure did!!!  But I see it now, or did for awhile.  I had to kill it from
another console as the keyboard wasn't responding.

Yep.  I need to set a few things up.  I tried logging in via telnet but it
punted me after the login.  So I never got to the point where I could see
if the linux term works.  Getting there.

Yeah.  Very DOSie or OS/2ie except the keyboard and colours.  Strange
seeing that on a linux console after all these years.  Getting old and
spoiled.  What can I say?  I think I need to look at that aspect of the
code.

However, I am making headway on the message areas and was wondering if
there is some info on sqafix configuration.  Once that is done then I am
seriously thinking that the menuing etc needs a hard look at as far as
terminals go.  I know you want this to be portable but to get it running
efficently on Linux I am thinking ncurses.  What do you think?

Life is good,
Maurice
