Jim,

Make sure that, in your Modes function key definitions, Block Mode is
not enabled as a startup default.  Having Block Mode enabled upon
connecting to the system can cause the behaviour your seeing.

Okay, the networking saga is over, at least for now! :-)

Here's what's happening with Typeahead.  Occasionally (I can't seem
to pin down the exact sequence of events that make it occur), when
I make the network connection and get the "MPE XL:" prompt, I can
press return and have the prompt repeat, but if I press any other
key, the keyboard acts like it is locked; that is, the bell sounds
and no character is echoed to the screen.  At first, I thought it
was typeahead because if I went into Terminal Setup/Keyboard and
removed the Typeahead, everything worked okay.  But now, I see that
it (Reflection) really doesn't care if I change anything.  Just
going into Terminal Setup and clicking OK is enough to "unlock"
the keyboard and everything is ok.  Not a big deal, I've already
learned to live with it.

Item #439 on today's glitch list! :-)
