Ctrl+Backspace doesn't do anything   Message List

Re: [BeipMU] Re: Ctrl+Backspace doesn't do anything

This whole thread does make me wonder why, exactly, BeipMU doesn't
work the same way as every program I can think of except Notepad. Does
it somehow use the same libraries (or whatever the correct term would
be) as Notepad or is there another good reason that it's set up this
way? :)

I'll have to try out your suggestion tomorrow, crashbrn, though it
seems like a valid work around; I barely had time to check my e-mail
before bed tonight.
