filePro and Anzio Lite?

[John Esak]

A million years ago, FacetCorp had a *similar* problem with filePro . Very,
very similar. The vertical graphic lines of the menus were sending something
strange that was goofing up Facetterm with a ^?... They fixed the problem by
putting an intercept for a particular character sequence in one of the
terminal files for Facetterm. Fixed the problem immediatley.  I will look up
the exact sequence when I get back from "outback" tonight. Post it here
then.

It may be completely way off-base, bu then, it might be just the thing...
who knows. Worth a shot, right?
