- There's an intermittent oddity in ELM 2.4PL8 (and previous) when an editor
- starts up for a reply. We have the editor set up for MicroEMACS, and
- most times (but _not_ always) a stray RETURN character seems to get
- injected before the user gets a chance to type anything, so that the screen
- draws to show the message, then scrolls down one line.
-
- It only happens when invoking the editor from ELM, and is _never_ seen with
- ELM 2.3

- System is a Sequent Symmetry, running PTX 1.3 (SysV.3)
