MEX112.BUG forwarded from the RCPM circuit:

***********************   BUG ALERT !!! ************************

MEX 1.12 has a nasty bug in the 'SENDOUT' command 
       this bug has not shown itself in version 1.11
*********************************************************
* IF                                                   *
*      (REPLY is greater than zero)    and             *
*      (SODELAY is off)                and             *
*      (WTECHO is off)                 and             *
*      (XOFF is on)                                    *
* THEN                                                 *
*      using SENDOUT command                           *
*              will not continue with READ file        *
*              will not return to command state        *
*              will not respond to keyboard            *
*              will leave you dead in the waters       *
*                      (up the creek without a paddle) *

Should this message make it to Ron Fowler, suggestion for MEX 2.0 or sooner:

       Allow toggle to silence messages like '***REPLY***','ZZZZZ',
'Term-mode' and other stat responses when executing from a READ file.
This way, one would see exactly what is happening on-line just as if
one is executing all commands invisibly (no harsh interrupting messages).
These messages take up valuable screen space.

       MEX is really evolving ... can't wait for version 2
