Thanks Chen for your observations. As usual very thoughtful.

A question however: Doesn't a reply of 123 123-123 create a
USOS problem regarding the space between the two strings?
Perhaps I mean unshifting and reshifting to add additional
length to the transmission.

I can't decide if USOS is more of a problem than a solution
on two points. First, the general lack of understanding of
how it works, and secondly, the usual incompatibility between
USOS and non-USOS.

On the otherhand using a mouse to 'select' screen data is 
confusing and compounded by those pesky dashes. Is there a 
solution to these two positions?

A puzzle-ment eh?
