(CHAT ''INDIGO), and after a few "blips" on the chat window, the following line was echoed':'
'
@ogin ?'
'
evidently, it missed the login somehow, and "boggled".  I remained unlogged-in.  Only relevant clue was that INDIGO should have been very busy at the moment I tried CHATting.'

I have noticed very intermittently a problem chatting to IFS''s wherein they act as if they are in a pagehold after printing the herald line.  They then gobble up the "L" to release the hold, after which "ogin" doesn''t work too well.  Do you recall if the window complemented at the time?'

I sent some message to you, oh maybe a month ago, with essentially these symptoms reported.  I don''t generally remember seeing the chat window inverted in these circumstances; but once in a long while I do get an inversion, at "odd" times, that takes an incredibly long time to revert back.'
