Well, for non-programmer, it is generally rather difficult to judge if some inconvenience one encountered is bug or not. Especially if it can be easily fixed with "pressing ^L" as you pointed out or even with "scrolling up and down". Furthermore, in this case (Moji-bake), it is very difficult to explain what inconvenience it is so, I guess, no one has reported the problem to me. And I myself did not know this mailing list untill recently ;) Best Regards, 2000.6.27 -- Debian JP Developer - much more I18N of Debian Atsuhito Kohda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Department of Math., Tokushima Univ. ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
