well actually, it may just be w/ twx, but i use swath w/ it so that may be it too, however, when i just use swath w/o twx this bug is nonextistant. the bug is: when i do a G scan for deployed figs, and there is a LOT of deployed figs, near the end of the list it will just stop, and when i hit enter or anything it just redisplays the sector. This happens w/ CIM data too. ANyone know how to fix this?

For example, when you get to fig 4000 in a 5000 sector game, it won't display any more deployed figs?

Are you running a script when you do this? I've seen this behavior when there is a TWX script running... like scripts that load the fig scan into an array will have trouble with large numbers of deployed figs. never seen it though from just pressing G.

Kemper: Yes. Itll go into the 4000s and then just halt. Survey: nope, although i DO run the 1_login script any ideas how to rectify this?

it happens with zoc too sometimes i have to sit through the scan a couple times to get a deployed fig count

anyone have any ideas why?

I have no idea what the problems is, but it sounds like it is related to twx. As such, you should email xide and talk with him about it, or I think there are twx forums, you could try asking there. There would probalby be more people with more knowledge of it there.

the symptoms you describe could be due to an aborted display due to the CN9 setting "(9) Abort display on keys - SPACE / ANY KEY"

if you hit G and then SPACE during the scroll, you will abort the display mid-way through. if you have CN9 set to ANY KEY, then pressing any key during the scroll will abort it.

if you are not hitting any keys, make sure your helper isn't hitting them without you knowing. for example, a keepalive feature that passes "#" every 30 seconds may be aborting your fig list if you have CN9 set to any key....
