     Wonder if the mac os might be translating things   
   funny, lots of things strange there.  I run same version,   
   under dos itself.  Others do under various win flavors as   
   well, so that might have something to do with the problem of wrong character.

   Hmmm, our mac guys could probably address that one, don't   
   know where to go for that one, and doubt many of them are   
   here.

   I'm wondering if through all the vm stuff and then the mac   
   os that ascii 45 might be interpreted as ascii 95.   
      
   DT> Thanks for your help, I'll see what I can figure out.   
      
   This one's a new one on me.  I know that if squish sees a   
   msg without an origin line, it will place the one you define at the end of the   
   message, and of course a tear line at that point.   
      
   Regards,
