I found where STERM 1.3 messes up, on that fake pop-up window during downloads
with B+ or QB protocol.  When the file being sent is bigger than around 64k.
From then on, no matter how big or small subsequent downloads are, that pop-up
window loses all the termcap controls it has read in.

I've been downloading lots of things tonight, on up to 58k each.  Then I found
a 67k file I wanted, and Sterm started messing up from then on.

I restarted Sterm and things straightened out until the next 64k/bigger file!

Hope this will help .. I think I got the sources to Sterm 1.3 somewhere. Might
try to see what it was poking ... -- Thx, Paul Seniura (76476,464).
