Here is more info on vu which has me confused. There is something about
the 80 column /term window in the latest NitrOS-9 distribution that vu
does not like. Any other text window (80 columns) that I create can run
vu without any problems.
The windows that I create, normally have black text on white screens
while /term has black text on a green screen. I can't see how that can
be the problem but that's the only difference I can find.
