Does anyone else have the problem whereby the top status line disappears when
the screen is scrolled. The status bar is reclaimed when the screen is cleared
by the data on the status line is lost and whatever text happened to be there
is kept from scrolling.

Note, this happens on three different machines and the VIDEO selection in the
STATIC file makes no difference. Also, this occurs with or without and ANSI
driver.

This is extremely annoying as I have no idea who is every online. My rumaging
through the source code has turned up nothing other than it appears Tom is not
trapping all the necessary DOS/BIOS calls required to keep the status line on
the top of the screen. This problem make me feel like re-writing the DOS.C
file from scratch using only Borland's CONIO functions....

Help! Anyone?
Mark
