No Kidding!!! I almost died when I first discovered that one! I
thought about writing my own "windowed" version of write(1), but got
sidetracked (as usual). But wait... there's hope! Last week I brought
up Jack Bonn's "phone" program. It works great. Just what I was
looking for. It was posted to comp.sources.misc. If anyone missed it,
and wants it let me know...
