Whenever I reposition the caret (using the mouse) in TTYIN, the caret gets left wherever it was.  The carets get pretty thick underfoot when the editing gets heavy!'

I''ve discovered that the "caret dropping" problem occurs only when the shift key is held, and seems to occur  during calls to PROCESS.READ.'

Fixed.'
'
It required a change to the macro \CHECKCARET which is called by many places in the system.  I recompiled TTYIN to catch the oneS in TTYIN but did not compile the others.  They will fixed as that code is recompiled.  If you are responsible for any code that calls \CHECKCARET, you might recompile it next time you are in there.'

Odd, since PROCESS.READ doesn''t call TTYIN at all.'
'
Could you provide a test case?  I can''t reproduce this.'
