   No i don't use dosemu; actually only have dosemu2 as I'm using rocky linux;   
   and could not find dosemu.   
      
   But this points to my problem; I think I have lost something that is making it   
   default to run as DOS not native.   
      
   I found notes from Tim , where I had it working. Seems like I changed term type   
   to pc3 form ansi-bbs.   
      
   I think in Oct; I lost some ini files and evidently lost the config for these   
   external programs.   
      
   I've tried to add them back and get "Aborted" when I try and run nano as   
   documented in the synchronet wiki; and get a black screen when I try and call   
   vim as an native program.   
      
   I've learned of a death of a friend this evening; so I'm not in the best   
   mindset for debugging. I'll try to pick this up later this week.   
      
   I'll post with more details as to what I have configured, and how things are   
   not working. Both of these should be calling linux native programs directly.   
   I've added the names to native program list; and added external program   
   definitions for each program using standard I/O as listed for nano in the   
   synchronet wiki.   
      
   Thanks for helping me see; it was trying to use DOSEMU and not calling it   
   as a native program.
