I have had some occasions where the display window rolls up even though I would not have expected it. Speaking of rolling up, I set my display window to 1000 lines after a suggestion by someone else on this list. This is a great feature. --- Brad Davidson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Razzak, > > Interesting!
