Fascinating excerpt! So each line was a different day (or so)? So 80% of
your newsdat is "available" space all that time! Amazing. (-:

Only Chin knows this answer... (i think).

First get Yin 1.5, then report any bugs you still find. (-: (I believe the
count on Delete status messages was fixed at some point...)

Yes, this is a weird ideosyncracy i have noticed in my virtual pascal CRT
unit (which is slightly weird). It however does not effect STDOUT
(redirection), or anthing else.. just looks slightly ugly on the screen...
since it has no real effect except cosmetic i haven't bothered to look into
fixing that one.
