Paul, at 14:55 on Jul 18 1995, you wrote to Bill Grimsley...

Oh, nice one Paul.  Thanks for the warning, I appreciate it.  So how does
one exit the program - Alt-A perhaps?  ROFL!  Anyway, why did you change
it?  And more importantly, why didn't you TELL me that you had?

It's probably my massively altered keystrokes which 3.2.a3 didn't like, so
I'll look at it again with a less complex msged.cfg next time.

I forget, but as it's now obviously redundant, I guess it doesn't matter.

PE> If it does an Alt-A, then you don't want that anymore.

Brilliant!  Before I use it again, is there anything else I need to know
first, like how many other keystrokes you've altered?  :)

Regards, Bill
