I've got what I think is a problem with version 5.5 of MPE. When I go into
NMMGR and validate DTS, everything is fine until the end when, in a new
prompt, I am asked if I want to make the changes effective immediately or
later. Whether I reply "Y", "y", "N", "n", "H", or "h" it just locks up on
me. If I break and abort, it still just sits there. My only option is to
abort my session from another terminal. Any clues? Do I have a valid bug
here or am I just doing something stupid?

NMMGR will now cross-validate the NMCONFIG file with SYSGEN.

Copying validated configuration file to backup file, please wait ***
Do you want DTS changes to become active now (Y/N)?

Y = all changes made take effect now
N = all changes made will take effect upon next dynamic configuration,
    DTS restart or system reboot
H = help

> N
