-----------
Yes, this is a genuine bug, sigh. It turns out that fixing it is
something of a chore deep in the code because of the way sundry video
attributes are munged (changed) by the ESC ` <write protected display
attribute code> sequence. I'll have this fixed in the next release, as
they say, because it is turning out to be too complicated to generate
as a Patch file item. I have a real Wyse-50 to help decode the affair.
Thanks,
Joe D.
