Hello Polytropon,

Thanks for the clarification.  I've verified you key strokes on my host
and the results are identical.  I also tried a different console
driver, that is vt, and also different terminals from termcap (vt102)
and the result is the same.  Perhaps the cause is at a lower level.

Cheers ...
