Hi all.. I've some PETSCII users who have been having trouble sending mail (and I assume this would extend to the public message area as well). When they type "/s" at a new line, instead of saving the message, the email is aborted and they're kicked out of the editor. I've been able to duplicate this using SyncTerm to verify. Is there a known fix for this?

Thanks much!

Regards,

It has nothing to do with PETSCII or the terminal, it's just a bug in v3.17b with the internal editor. It was fixed long ago. The latest release now is v3.18b.

Thank you very much for the quick reply. Executed the upgrade, have a few things to fix, but the issue noted is definitely resolved. Thanks much!
