   Yeah, I was expecting a pretty standard copy & paste experience (same as   
   NetRunner), but it's a no go on mine :-(  I just recompiled and retried it.   
      
    DC> I'm using Syncterm v1.1b in SDL mode, if that matters (and it might).   
      
   Mine is 1.2b debug (Jun 21 2023) though - just the version from the web site.   
      
   But knowing that it's /supposed/ to work I'll spend some time digging deeper   
   and/or exploring the earlier version you have (which doesn't compile out of   
   the box on my Ubuntu 23.04 system).   
      
   Thanks for the feedback though - very much appreciated.  At least I know it's   
   supposed to work now :-)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Bob.
