[Dxspider-support] user_default file

Hello DX-Spider group,

I have a simple question that I believe I know the answer to, but just
wanted verification.  In my user_default file lines 14 & 15 are printed to
the user screen in reverse order.


#
# file user_default

blank +
sh/wwv 1
blank -
sh/dx 5
blank -
echo Directory of your own messages.
dir/o
blank -
echo Directory of new messages.
dir/n
blank +


The normal output is below, but in some instances, the echo of "Directory of
your own messages." is followed by the 'blank -' line, with the results of
the 'dir/o' command displayed under the dashed line.

Is this occurring because the 'dir/o' query is taking longer than the
display of the dashed line so the line gets stuffed in ahead of the query
results?  I tried several times to get this to happen this morning, but was
unable to get the incorrect results.

TU es 73,
Bill/N6WS
