Hi James,
I think I have already fixed the FIND command in the latest build (2016.06.04).
I will look at the other oddities you mentioned, but you can always stick with
the stable vDos-lfn 2016.05.30 build if you like. In fact, vDos-lfn build
2016.05.30 has (slightly limited) bidirectional LPT4=CLIP support too compared
with the original vDos 2015.11.01 or earlier.

Hi James,
Perhaps I should suggest to stick with vDos-lfn build 2016.05.30 for real work
for now, which is the last build based on Jos' vDos 2015.11.01, so it should be
considered stable. On the other hand, vDos 2016.06.01 was just released, so we
probably need a test period in order to get everything working, though this
should not take too long. Hope this helps.

Hi Wengier,

Yes, LPT4 = CLIP works in vDos-lfn build 2016.06.03, which is excellent.Many
thanks for getting that fixed.

Some problems I've noted in this build (I haven't compared your earlierbuilds
of the June version), using NB3 under Win7:

The NB "find" command now doesn't work. It is supposed to findall files
matching the filespec on the current drive or the specifieddrive. This command
always reports "not found" (with keymode 1;with the default keymode, the cursor
just sits on the command line, orreturns to the beginning of the command line,
and there is no report).

On some occasions I haven't been able to identify, every other
keystrokeproduces a pop-up from the NB Help system--it's what would happen if
Iwent into Help (F1), chose "Options," and entered"DOS". See screenshot below.
What causes this and how can Iavoid it?

Another oddity is that at times, an ASCII 16 (right-pointing triangle)
isdisplayed after every keystroke. In both these cases, abandoning
vDos-lfnusually is required.

Cursor movement with the arrow keys is a bit slower than in the previousvDos
versions (I've specified keydelay = 500 and keyinter = 20), *until*I rem those
parameters. Then cursor movement speeds up considerably. Isthat what you would
expect?

Thanks for any remedies.

James
