OK, good, like I said, I saw that problem a couple of days ago & the fix
will be in the next beta. Thanks for checking.
The problem was in some code for formatting DDs, in the branch that
looks for ( 9 : string ), and I didn't think any old code could be
affected. Wrong.

Henry,
Adding a space after "9" , ie 9!:7 becomes 9 !:7
eatchar=: 3 : 0
NB. beta-j eats noblank last chars in explicit defn
NB. write upload rate summary report - no blank after last 's'
r [ (toHOST r) write urp [ 9!:7 cchars

"fixes" the terminal character gobbling.

I thought 'eatchar' was the one that was losing a character. Wherever
the error is: please see if adding the space after the 9 fixes it.

I have made some changes in my version and I don't see the problem.
Just for fun, though: would you put a space after the 9 in (eatchar) and
see if that makes the problem go away? If so, the problem will be fixed in
the next beta.

It looks like the latest beta is dropping the last non-blank character
of
explicit definitions. This will wreck mountains of code;
