Pib, I found a neato error today.  Probably not even worth fixing but I
thought I'd mention it anyway, cause it's fun.  I was in the VT100 emulation
(keypad redefine) screen and wanted help so I hit F1 and got a General Help
Ok, I thought, let's try help on this screen in particular, so I clicked my
mouse on the header for the VT100 window and help the button down, then hit
F1.  I got the same help screen again, so I thought, well, ok, no help then
and closed the help window.  When I got back to the keypad redefine screen I
moved the mouse, and the entire window moved with it, leaving images of the
window as it moved.  Although, when I tried to do it again, it didn't work.
All it did was move the window around without leaving that trail of "images"
of the window.  So it's probably not really reproducible.  Just thought it
was neat.  Anyway, I'll shut up now.  Thanks...

Accurate paperwork?  It's a figment of your imagination!
