From the shell window I used a macro to change windows, grab a file name, then return to the shell window and issue del {filename within quotation marks} After confirming that this was working as desired, I issued a command to repeat the macro indefinitely. As lines scrolled in the shell window I remarked some errors in the display there: certain improper bits were being displayed rather consistently. When the run was finished, I grabbed a screen shot of the quiescent state (attached) showing some of these. Scrolling lines off the bottom of the window and then back on caused them to redisplay properly. djc
