Interesting.  JFW never tells me "ATC."  Exactly what are the correct
settings for JFW to accomplish this?  I wonder if I have JFW set so that it
can't tell me.  If, indeed, JFW should tell me in its current state, then
this could very well explain the original problem I have been having...the
state of the ATC window is incorrect.
