'
Calling CHAT at a time when it doesn''t have a prepared window to uses enters GETCHATWINDOW which calls CREATW which calls GETREGION.  But this is in the "chat" process, and thus Chat''s interruptchars are active (i.e., none).'
'
Since GETCHATWINDOW is absolutely the first thing done when the chat process is started, then why not make the GETCHATWINDOW call * before * doing the ADD.PROCESS -- that way, one can abort during the GETREGION time by typing ^E etc.'
