Subject: dselect misuses ti/te
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 1998 13:37:41 -0400
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.21

Today, I was using dselect in an xterm.  I suspended dpkg 
to do a diff, and I had my screen context change.  Fortunately,
I remembered the file name and was able to still do the diff.

Then when I restarted diff, it reverted to the prior screen and
CLEARED IT.  Annoying.

A little later on, I saw something that I considered a bug, and
wanted to cut and paste into a bug report.  Unfortunately,
I suspended the session, even though I should have realized
that this would lose the very informaion I was trying to 
extract.

Whatever happened to KISS?
