Sheer grazy, Ralph, and I am really sorry that you again had to
worry about this program!  It'll get better.

Ok, thanks for the report.  On the other hand: on the development
branch the entire thing has been changed, and more is in the
overfull pipeline, so i'm not really going and dig into this
again: for v14.8.8 i've spent a lot of time in that valgrind thing
and hammered the input side of the old NCL.  Not good enough.
Shit!
But that old rotten NCL thing is vanished and gone, i keep on
looking forward for v14.9 and the new MLE editor.

So for interactive usage of the old NCL-based codebase i would
recommend that you set *editalong* and directly spawn the $EDITOR
of your choice!  That setting is much smoother than at first, you
won't see any redundant output fly by before it comes up, for
example.  It'll be even better with (Be more friendly when
composing mails (Martin Neitzel)..) from [next], however.  Well.
Sorry so far!

Ciao!
