sorry for the delayed response.  I wanted to make sure I did some testing.

confirmed .  BTW, do you know how I can change it to go a FULL page up with
the PgUp?  It is REALLY annoying to have the PgUp key move at only 1/4 page
at a time.

^k works great.  ESC works much better now!

Anyone else have an opinion on how the kill ring should be implemented

I don't know what the terms "yank" and "kill-ring" meant, or how I would use
them, sorry.

One [possibly] new bug:  The feature that updates the window's caption it
great!  However, on Windows, if I am in a folder that contains directory
names with spaces in them (like "Richard Thompson - [1991]  Rumor and
Sigh"), then pressing the TAB changes all the spaces to backslash-space,
INSTEAD of surrounding with quotes.  (this is as it was), HOWEVER, if I
accidentally hit <enter> instead of <esc>, it displays a couple errors, then
EVERY TIME I use the CD command after this I get the error:

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'ret' referenced before assignment

at line 33 in platutils_win32.py

Thanks for your work on this!
