/V? Good to know. I had found term_vdg and used ezgen to rename it to termvdg but that did not fully work. I could iniz and echo to it, but it would hang until I hit BREAK in that window. Trying to fork a shell also would hang until I pressed BREAK and then I'd see the #002 back on the main window. Very different behavior from what I was used to, so clearly things have changed.

I also found an issue where I'd hit CLEAR to switch screens and as soon as it go to the 32 VDG screen, it would hang and I was done -- as if that screen was not monitoring for the CLEAR key. I saw some system calls about KeySense and such and wondered if this was another new feature added to NitrOS-9.

I will try the /V descriptors and, I assume, CoVDG for the driver.

Thanks
