- I'm curious about this response, Bob. Wouldn't you be better off with
- pure linemode (i.e., specifying the NOSCREEN option) than this? I admit
- I know nothing about the screen readers and why windows cause problems
- with them, but I would have guessed that the same might be true of any
- program which tried to manipulate the full screen, such as normal
- XEDIT itself.
