So, we should remove xolc from the next release, yes?

System name:		portnoy
Type and version:	RTPC-ROMPC 7.2P (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		apa16

What were you trying to do?
	See how bad xolc was.  Beth complained that it should be
removed from the packs in olcd (which is obviously the wrong place to
send that, but who cares).

What's wrong:
1) the motd comes up cut off at the left.
2) it has no useful accelerators
3) The ask window has the buttons cut off at the bottom
4) this send window has no cursor until you click
5) the status line says "I'm connected to .  My topic is:"
6) When I click the "Show/Update" button, it scrolls to the TOP of the list
window.  This is really stupid.

What should have happened:
	the xolc shell script should be removed until this is at least
alpha test quality software :-/

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	you're kidding, right?
