I use a spawned editor with NEWS which turns off the application keypad on exit. Unfortunately, NEWS does NOT turn the application keypad back on when an edit job - or a spawned process - returns to it. It should. Further, while CTRL/W re-paints the screen, it, too, fails to turn the keypad back on. In the case of something like a brief power hit on a terminal, it's necessary to be tricky in order to get the keypad to work again. (My trick: Spawn a SET TERM/APPL command.) Probably the best way to deal with this is simply to send an appropriate ini- tialization string along with any screen refresh. We're only talking about a small number of characters.... -- Jerry
