Hi Dino,
    It turned out that I had split my jed.rc out into separate keys,
functions and colors files in a subdirectory that gets picked up in
Linux but not in Windows. Setting the slang_load_path fixed the problem.
That computer is not on right now so I'm not sure which function I used.
    I had used your file from your blog site but since I was having
troubles installed that other package with version 0.99.20 and it
seems to be working fine too. Still have to get the key definitions
right but all else seems OK.
Thanks for your help.
Blessings,
Mike
