Hi Craig,

Oops, saw another new top bug.  This one deals with the loss of 'keystroke 
paste' capability.  I've got a quick fix, but it involves a tradeoff.

So, what's more important to your personal top workflow: 
  1) line input editing with cursor motion keys like left, right, etc, or
  2) the ability to paste keystrokes in support of commands like 'u', 'L', etc.

Either way we would still have a viable destructive backstoke key.  But if we 
choose paste, then the arrow keys will appear as escapes and line wraps can't 
be prevented.

Your answer will help me choose the proper #define default.

Thanks,
Jim
