A few of my Procomm Plus 4.6 users are complaining that text is getting
pasted into the terminal window and they did *not* to a CTRL-V.
Sometimes it appears to be clipboard text and others it appears to be
text that was used in a Procomm ASPECT edit control.

One user typed CTRL-N several times and got a line of text from another
application pasted in the terminal window. CTRL-N is a specific command
to the target machine. The user insisted he was NOT typining CTRL-V by
mistake as he tried this about 10 times with the same results. Finally
he closed down Procomm and restarted it and the problem went away.

Another user is getting messages typed in a an edit control and saved
to a file suddenly pasted in the terminal window. Sometimes the message
was entered that day sometimes days earlier. Has anyone seen this odd
behavior ???

Mark, can't say that I have seen this problem myself. I run 4.7, which
is functionally similar to 4.6 for the portions they have in common.
FYI, Ctrl-V will not paste text into Procomm's terminal window. You
have to select the Edit | Paste Text menu item. This was to allow Ctrl-
V to be sent to the remote machine. Are both users running a script,
or just the second user?
