Q was also sometimes not working.

To write mail, after typing 6, I need to type 'C' to compose (as explained 
in H for help).  That works now.

I fixed the problem of 1 and 6 and q often not working by removing the 
bolds in the menu (deleted \033[1m and \033[m).

Menu items now read (1) (2) .... (Q)

I hope this can be fixed in BL3.41.  The bold looks pretty but causes 
problems.  It has happened on three of our computers already - one Compaq 
(I think) and two DFI of different ages (for sure).

I think Steven has set up the menu to send mail out immediately now 
instead of later.  pmail -o   Not sure.
