Here is more info on vu which has me confused. There is something about 
the 80 column /term window in the latest NitrOS-9 distribution that vu 
does not like. Any other text window (80 columns) that I create can run 
vu without any problems.

The windows that I create, normally have black text on white screens 
while /term has black text on a green screen. I can't see how that can 
be the problem but that's the only difference I can find.
