Re: Change display attribute of message

Seems sometimes they do, sometimes not. I've seen where, if there are
trailing nulls, not blanks, in message data, you get this big RI block.Am
trying to repeat this behavior now.

I'm using Pers Comm at home, shows blanks. Use CAE at work, see little
blocks. Don't know behavior of dumb terminals. Guess I'd need to do a comm
trace to see what gets transmitted, eh?
