Chuck McManis (chuck@usc-eclc) noted that "dec editors assume '}'
is a terminator" and consequently he must use a filter when
writing programs for Decus C.

In the 2+ years that Decus C has been distributed, this is the
first I have heard of this problem (but I use it on vms, rsts,
and rt11).  I would suggest that Chuck (and anyone else with
this problem) check the terminal setup modes and/or the terminal
software.  Based on my experience with rsts/e, I would guess that,
if you set the terminal to upper-and-lower-case mode, the brace
will be seen as a graphic character, not as altmode.
