Yeah.  There are a few other 'gotchas' with Jet.  Then again, it isn't
a supported tool.  Which, as you indicate, is a great shame since it is the
only terminal emulator I can bring myself to use (and this despite the fact
that it occasionally bombs, locks-up, goes crazy [try cat'ing an executable
to a jet term!], loses the cursor...).  Are you going to fix this Josh?
