It happens with the sample dotzile from 2.2.13. I'm attaching it for your comfort. As for why a character is inserted, maybe there's a bug in the libraries? I've reproduced it with different terminals, so it's not an issue with the term implementation. -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.
