- This is the (known) bug with index searches in PC gopher; it exists because
- of a limitation in Turbo Pascal. I don't think there can be anything done
- about it. On the 'Advanced' config. menu question, I have no problems getting
- there without a mouse; I do Alt-C and then Alt-A. This is on version 1.05r3;
- what version are you using?
