memo NN show

Tue Mar 16 06:59:30 PDT 2010

I have been  testing this when connected through terminal server.

Just tested this on my system with a blank screen popped up behind the memo
nn show.  Same problem, the dummy fields behind bleed through both the popup
blank screen and the show window.

There is a bug in this function of the memo program.

The simplest way to avoid this is to just use the edit command - memo nn
edit readonly

This brings up the edit window (no bleed through) but the text can't be
edited.  Same as show except the cursor is in the upper left of the window.

I have a feeling this was added as a workaround for the memo nn show
problem.
