wg console window crash

[megagoo]

hi. i enabled my console window in registry so it looks like the old dos style. for some reason, after switching back and forth, and doing stuff like switching between windows, the window wont let me enter in commands. i'd say it freezes, but it still shows data. like if i lock up on emulating someone, the emulation continues. i just can't hit any buttons. except ctrl-C or ctrl-break maybe, which crashes the bbs.



any ideas?



thanks

it happens. i don't think anyone knows why it happens or how to get it to work again (besides shutting it down). you dont have to crash the bbs though, you have a two different options:



1. telnet in and shut it down from the remote sysop menu

2. click the "X" in the upper right hand corner of the console screen, but hit cancel on the end task window. the bbs should shutdown properly.
