However, 17.1 had trouble with deadkeys, which lost us ~, ^, and `, so restoring the old behavior is not good enough. This is a known bug in the DOS box itself under W95/Win32 (it's on Microsofts bug list), and there's no workaround. We need a better terminal window altogether! -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
