What were you trying to do?
I was trying to talk to os2user@hundred-acre-wood.mit.edu. In
particular, I wanted to send more than one line of text.
What went wrong?
The return key didn't work. Hitting `return' gave me a `^M' in the
talk window. I had to hit Control-J to get what I wanted.
What should have happened?
The return key should have worked. /usr/athena/bin/talk should be
expecting UNIX newlines, since it is running on a UNIX machine...
