Brent, I guess that I don't really consider it a bug, when you consider that remote mode is really meant for others to call your system. I consider it an enhancement that you can type into the remote mode at all. (You can always pull the screen down and do anything you want on your own system.) Although I'll admit that letting you enter anything but the password seems a bit odd! I am glad that they plan to fix it in a future release (see other reply to your message.) There are, though, some real bugs in the program that can be quite annoying. Try setting up your phonebook for dialing a system with vt100 mode, 24lines and you get INSTANT LOCKUP, for exthe distribution disk has so much program on it that they just happened to delete several things that are required for the system to run. (No printer drivers for example. Try to print and the system hangs.) It's hard to complain about AEGIS putting on so much code that they had to delete some system files, but, you'd think that at least they could tell you up front about it instead of testing your ingenuity to see if you can figure it out! (I for one, would rather have paid $3.00 more and gotten the extra's on another disk and had a working DIGA! disk.) I have gotten it to work with the remote user typing in the password. After that, both of us could enter commands. One thing to beware of is that some (if not all) of the commands are HOT, so it can be confusing if one expects to enter a word followed by <CR>. (It's been a while, so I can't remember exactly.) All in all, DIGA! seems to be a nice package, that will probably be a lot nicer in the next release. David
