Yes, I did. But I'm sorry to admit that it got overlooked until I saw this
message.

The new beta I uploaded today should fix "A" & "B".  The problem was that 4OS2
apparently displays a message when a file is deleted.  CMD.EXE does not.

"C" occurs when the background color is something other than the default
(black).  Fixing "C" may take a while.  In fact I may not be able to fix it and
therefore I would have to abandon the color for the messages displayed
occasionally at the bottom of the screen.

As a temporary fix (which disables the color), you can do the following:
   Lines 834-835 should read:
      cfg.ansi = (CheckAnsi() == 1)
      if cfg.ansi == 1 then
   Insert a line between them so that they are:
      cfg.ansi = (CheckAnsi() == 1)
      cfg.ansi = 0
      if cfg.ansi == 1 then

Let me know how this works for you.
