Must be you, are you starting it with the 'gem' command.

You can start any program from UniTerm (as long as it doesn't use to much
memory), caveat: some shells seem to confuse Malloc, which in turn messes
up memory allocation in UniTerm.

I would think this to be nice too, it's just that I don't want to subject
the users of UniTerm to Yet-Another-File-Selector and would rather wait for
Atari to provide a better one (if they would at least use the one in PC-GEM).

Thanks!
BTW what about a deal: Alliant stops carrying out their feud with Apollo
(in which both companies don't make a very good impression) at our cost
and I send you the most recent UniTerm version (only half :-)).

(one guess to what forty2 is)
