Eric,

I suspect you are right about it being related to the curses and not the monitor.
I have used v.digit alot in the past on the Sun with no problems. This version
seems to have changed a bit from previous versions I have used. The changes seem
to be the mouse menu options changed around. I do not know when these changes
were implemented.

If it is a cursres problem would it show up in other menus? If so which ones?

I know you are probably sick of answering this question, but ... what is easiest
way to re-build the distribution with IPC or the old fifo's (but not have to
rebuild the entire distribution)?

Thanks for your help.
