Hi Beartooth,

FWIW, I really do think that Mr.(?) Redelmeier's suggestion is well worth
considering(and trying).  His suggestion is very interesting and seems based
on some in-depth understanding of linux and of curses as it is used by text
based shell programs.  If you try his suggestion and this does give a result
to confirms his idea of a curses problem you (or at least I have) learned
something more ...

Certainly I should think that alpine does use curses for writing to the
screen so his suggestion is not as wild as it might seem.  Probably he knows
something more than at least I do and I think this is worth trying to
confirm/refute....  I think other's suggestion (to follow?) would be more
specific to the alpine program and not to how is is set up to interact with
the O/S.

Your,

Fennix
