About once every day or two I "crash" my epoch session by getting the
cursor stuck in column 1.  (Or is that column 0?)  This happens
whenever you respond to a y-or-n-p prompt by saying "Gosh, I don't
want to do that" and typing ^G.  I know, I shouldn't do that, but I
often do.  Then I have to quit epoch and restart.

Does anyone else get this behavior?  I think I've posted about this
before, but I've never seen a response.  Maybe the message didn't go?

I can't find any reasonable way to catch the problem.  Any hints?
