This problem may be specific to NT 4. I have never had this problem
with Windows 95 and a variety of different telnet programs, or with
exceed, and I know of people with NT 3.51 and exceed who also do not
have this problem, as long as they run exceed in the mode which uses
Microsoft Windows as the window manager. The fact that it occurs in
DOS and telnet windows also makes me wonder if this is a variation of
the problems which DragonDictate has with dictation into 16-bit
applications under NT.

This of course is the way to talk to dragons, if you don't want to
reveal your proper name (which is wise), and don't want to infuriate
them by a flat refusal (which is also very wise). No dragon can resist
the fascination of riddling talk and of wasting time trying to
understand it.
