something other y or yes? I suppose it could be my terminal settings.
My vt420 needs some pretty weird settings to make it work with the program
I'm running.
Thanks,

Jerome Fine replies:
OK! Obviously the reply mechanism is the problem!
The answer MUST have the first letter as "Y", although I don't think the
other
letters are checked or does it matter if there is more than one letter - I just
don't bother.
But since the "/NOQU" switch can't always be used, it should be figured
out. If you have a VT100 you can test with, that may help to see if it is
a problem with the VT420. But at least you have narrowed it down to
the "Y" answer (lower case not allowed).
It might also be as simple as typing "<SHIFT>/Y", but that should not
be the answer. But can't hurt to try.
Any other questions?
