certainly, it didn't look very useful, but it's all i had.

no, you've misunderstood (and i did make a nice clean build):
the problem arose between 2-8pre.2 -- which was released February 1998 --
& 2-8-1pre.6 -- a recent enough version of current development:
it's a 2-8 vs 2-8-1 problem, not a problem within recent devt versions.
i can look thro' CHANGES, but people who were working on Options
should be able to locate individual changes more quickly than me.

i'll have a look at your procedure & follow it if i can,
BUT i have only one terminal -- my PC at home -- without a lot of fuss.
i want to grab & try out screen , but haven't got around to it.
i am quite adept at getting computers to do things,
but my experience is very limited in some areas.
thanx for your helpful advice: i'll report back later.
