Dagnabit!  Wouldn't you know that it would decide to function properly
before I even tried this?  Maybe it has something to do with the term
setting... I normally use MS-Kermit in VT320 mode.  Right now I'm using
CRT with VT220 mode...  Hmmm, I just tried TeraTerm with VT320 settings,
and it worked... SO... either it's just deciding to be cool today or it's
something with HP's curses and MS-Kermit (unlikely, but I'll check it
later).  I just tried it on the 9.07 machine, and it works over there as
well.  Even the old version (2.7 but fotemods about 2 days before 2.7.1)
works!!!  ARGH!!!

If it acts up again, I'll try using ! and get back to you.
