The newsprofile.c code attempts to set line edit mode on too early - it has to be done a little later in the init process. The change is in the NEWSRC.C file: NEWSRC.C reg_context() { int i; ITM_PTR iap; int save_curr_g = curr_g; struct dir_class *ch = c_head; if (profile_flags & PROFILE_LINEEDIT) edit_m_on(); /* set line edit mode if required */ ... } Geoff
