Hi John,

No, nothing different.  I have always run NA in a window.  It has always
worked fine, until now.  I am going to try to run it in DOS and see what
happens.  I know everything else is working ok, since I can run TR in DOS
and it communicates just fine with both the TNC and the radio.  I just made
sure of that tonight.  I'll let you know.

Jim            W4LC
