- Bull. "Talk" has so many control characters in it it's disgusting. It
- may be able to filter those that use the control characters in a linear
- fassion, but it'd be impossible to do it with characters that control
- cursor movements. If you leave the characters in it would overwrite
- everyting you do, and if you filter them out you'd still have to go
- through and edit everything so that the actual text is in the right
- order.
-
- If you look at the review buffer you'll notice that after using "talk"
- nothing is in the right order. "Type"ing the capture buffer after
- using "talk" will give you an exact replay of everything that happened in
- the "talk" session.

- I hope I just did. If you want something to be in the right order then
- you HAVE to edit it.
