I don't know if I've come to the right group for this, but I couldn't find a 
DOS demon support group.

Whilst I usually use Turnpike, I've recently been trying out the old Demon DOS 
package - sometimes it makes a refreshing change to get out of Windows for a 
while.

I have just one problem with it, and was wondering if anyone who has used the 
program could offer any advice.

In Mail, I press 'm' for a new message, which I write, press F7 to exit the 
editor and then choose 's' to send.  So far, so good.  However, if I then try 
and write a _second_ message using the same procedure, when I press F7 I'm 
presented with a splash of colour - a screen full of what are presumably 
machine-code characters - hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades, etc., and the 
program either refuses to send the message (but at least allows me to go back 
to the menu) or locks up completely, in which case the only way out is 
CTRL+ALT+DEL.

The only way in which I can avoid this is to exit Mail after the first message, 
which takes me to the menu screen, and then re-enter it to write my second 
message.  This doesn't take long, but presumably isn't the way the program was 
designed to work...

Answers on a postcard, please - all help greatly appreciated.

BTW, I am running the program in DOS mode as recommended, and not from the DOS 
prompt in Windows.
