Sounds like out-of-memory to me. When I run the restore routine, I am
uncomfortably close to a memory breakdown -- up around 18Kb. What does
 command "VA/NV $M+6" return on your machine? In what contexts are you
using the Escape key and seeing that code string put into text? Something
peculiar about that code string: in 1252 it should appear like this:
"©IF©VA$SMî>0î" -- in other words, not "{>>}" -- you sure you've got the right
code in frame NULL? Doesn't look right to me...

How high have you set the max number of Stacked commands?

Yen is 850, 3/4 is 1252. Yes, it is normal, it should be there.
