I replied to it, and decided to hit        NB> and hold right arrow (and never let off until it got to the end of the        NB> message) and let the cursor go through the text. Sure enough, when it        NB> got to these it was going left to right over "Arabic: " and "Hebrew: "        NB> and then jumped to the end of the text and scrolled backwards to the        NB> beginning of it, then continued to the end of the line first, then to        NB> the next line and was back to left to right.               NB> I found it pretty amusing that the Linux console actually knew better        NB> and followed the text correctly. ;)              Interesting observation! Windows does not seem to be that smart. ;-)                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: Nieuw Schnøørd (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 124/0 5016 128/187 129/14       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/0 1 700 860 221/0 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 112 134 206 275 317 426 428 470 700 705 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 263/1 280/464 5003 5006 5555 291/111 292/789 854       SEEN-BY: 292/8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 341/66 234 423/120 460/58 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 902/26 5019/40 5020/400 1042 5075/35       PATH: 280/5555 464 124/5016 218/700 229/426           |
