Well, no, it hasn't been fixed, but that's cause I never run into the problem. ("problem" - that's a nice way to say "<censored> cheapo operating system bug") The only time I hit the bug in the last couple of years was a couple of minutes ago, when I made the system puke by loading in a 40k file and LEANING on the ^D key (and even then it was about 30k down before the shrooms walked across the screen.) The easy solution would be to just eat typeahead, but I've a friend here who would beat me into a pulp with my keyboard if I was to implement such a fix. *sigh* one of those goddamn things that make me wonder why I didn't buy a Mac... I'll figure out a "fix" and wire it into Levee this week. -david parsons

Sounds good. What's doing it to you on that bug, anyway? Rob T -- Rob Thurlow - Expatriate Canadian thurlow@convex.com "From the heart of 'The Friendship State'"
