Isaac,

1. As per the norm, I haven't observed the problem with ? that
you mentioned.  I just read your note, returned to my system, entered
DU3, typed ?, and read thru the help screens.  I also did the same thing
from the command line: DU3 ?.

I don't doubt that the problem exists as you say it does.  Probably
a subtle difference between our systems.  Also, I'm not surprised that
the problem was fixed in DU2 and it never got back to me.  Under the old
system (without Echelon around to be a point for CM control), that happened
a lot.  People would make changes and I would never see them, and, even if I
did, rather than getting a DIFF file which would point exactly to the changes,
I would get a new source and be expected to go thru it to figure out what they
did (of course, it is still THIS way).  Quite a time loss.  Do you want to
track the problem and point it out to me?  This may be best since I am
not able to duplicate it.

2. Your arrow keys problem is typical.  That's why the old Wordstar sequence
is still in there as well.  Rather than reassembling to give you a different
exit char, you could also zero the arrow key definitions for the 820-II
and use the WS keys instead.  Then there would be no conflict.  Either way.

Rick
