I can't reproduce this -- it works OK here.

No.

Yes, I see that.

Harder, why? Has something changed? This is the last version of DLG published
by TTG.

OK, I get the drift of your solution. But it fundamentally changes the frame's
operation. Let's just fix the original problem: the accelerator key. That
requires that you move one line, and alter a second line. The _problem_ is
that this line

tx		1	3	60	1	

includes within it (in the  variable) an "&F" $tring, which sends the
accelerator, not to the filename listbox below, but to an inert line of text
where nothing "happens". Instead, we want the &F to appear on this line:

lf	12	1	5	61	9	&F <=="&F" added at end!
                           ^^^^ ^^^^^
So add that. Next, MoVe the first mentioned "tx" line, above, down a few lines
to the following position, after the "ld" line, thus:
...
lf	12	1	5	61	9	&F
ld	13	66	+	10	+	
tx		1	3	60	1	
...          /^\
and _change_ the "+3" ab^ove to plain "3" (delete the plus sign).

Then LOADHELP. Problem solved. I trust that you're using (as
everyone should) a monospaced font to read plain-text Emails (so that they
format on-screen as intended by author).
