Dear Pals,

I have recently been using my beloved atari as a terminal, with Uniterm v2.0c,
to enter a C program which happens to need the word OBSERVER fairly often.
I noticed that if I type <shift>S <shift><anything else> too fast, Uniterm
runs the string I have assigned to F1, which is my dial-up routine for the
Cluster here. Has anyone else noticed this bizarre sort of behaviour?

PS Occasionally Uniterm blats into help screen with the menu for "transfer"
dangling down and no cursor, and needs a reboot. Anyone met this?

PPS I still think Uniterm is the best terminal program I have seen, and I
include the ROM's in DEC VT340's
