Greg,
This brings one thought to my feeble mind...DOSKEY. Since I do not use
DOSKEY to hold the last however many keystrokes in buffer memory, it
would be interesting to know if other Arachne users use it. With the knowledge
that using DOSKEY can be very addicting, you might run an experiment or
two without DOSKEY loaded and see if your "ghost text" still appears in your
email replies and such.
C U L8R!
