Yes, this is happening from within waffle
I use an Qedit as my console editor though.....

Arrrgh! Tripped up by *&^~%@!# NDOS! (Sounds of self-flagellation :-)

Thanks - I installed NDOS about 2 months after upgrading to waffle 1.65
and had completely forgotten about those notes.

Now the next question is how to get NDOS to ignore % hacks, as I don't
particularly want to have to manually set the address when I reply to
an address using them......
