  17. I tested protected fields in beta-15 and they still don't work.
  18. I used the same unix shell script I showed in my previous post
  19. (dated 5 Dec 1994):
  20.  
  21. ---snip---
  22. #!/usr/bin/ksh
  23. fg="\033[2\"q"
  24. bk="\033[1\"q"
  25. cf="\033[?2J"
  26. echo "${fg}foreground${bk}background${fg}foreground${bk}background${fg}${cf}"
  27. ---snip---
  28.  
  29. As before Kermit responds with a blank screen with the shell prompt
  30. towards the top.  Both "foreground" and "background" words are
  31. erased, which should not happen - the "background" words should not
  32. be erased.
