Hey Wilfred!   
      
    WvV> That also works, and I get the same effect (screen wise), as if   
    WvV> starting 'ge' from within 'tmux' when started without options.   
      
   I get the same when starting gedlnx without tmux, without the tmux green   
   status bar at the bottom.   
      
   As far as I am personally concerned it really doesn't matter since native   
   utf-8 editting has worked for ages now without having to resort to putting up   
   with any binary message formats.  Text has always been the best option and it   
   is no wonder that text messaging with utf-8 characters in linux is the way to   
   go even with fidonet.  The real problem is with the typical ftn formats (eg   
   Squish and Jam) and the editors relying on those formats.  Get rid of those   
   and everything works fine ... with or without tmux.   
      
   I think Sean has the right idea for tmux and with vi-like bindings on the   
   commandline between two terminals - one on the host, the other connected on   
   the remote via ssh - all sorts of extremely handy things are possible, even   
   text messaging without the need for ftn abandonware with all it's obsolete   
   and/or corrupted so-called standards.  Having said that, I don't mind testing   
   out things like golded if it potentially can make a difference.  As we speak   
   the misalignment of the cursor is the most annoying bug.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
