- If you minimize this title bar to an icon, I think you'll be OK. I don't
- have the problem of it starting up as a title bar, but if I double click
- on the minimized icon, I get essentially the same behavior (title bar,
- WPS image).

- I have this problem when I run elvis1.6 (DOS version of vi clone)
- in a DOS box. I don't have this problem when running ckermit for
- OS/2. Is your comm program a DOS program? Maybe this "bug" has
- something to do with DOS windows.
