Reams of screen prints

[Chris Sharman]

I'd suspect an idiot user, or just possibly a failing keyboard.
A book or other object or a jammed paper clip or something can do this, on
either the F20 or KP2 keys.
You could turn on keyclicks, or capture QKECHO to a file to verify that it's
coming from the keyboard. If that's not the cause, then check if the Quick
program is pushing the list command erroneously.

As a last resort you could define QKLIST to NL:, but better to fix the
problem.
