Hi, I'm trying to be the maintainer for the net/tn3270 port. I've filed a PR #72367 to bring in a new version called net/c3270 so we won't lose the original net/tn3270 for other users but still have a working curses-based 3270 emulator for 5.3-Release. In my PR, the shell-archive will create a new Makefile under the ports/net/c3270 dir. I'm using the OPTIONS= dialog to show all the new customizable goodies. If you look in my PR for this Makefile, I'm not having any luck in showing the '$' for the IND$FILE string on the FT line. To whittle this down, the line: OPTIONS= FT "Include IND\$FILE support" on will still not show the '$' sign properly. And I've tried all kinds of iterations and \$ escapes and substitutions etc. etc. etc. IND$FILE is the official name for this option, and it looks totally funny without it, and misspelling it will be missed in documentation searches and such. Does anyone have a clue how to make a '$' show up there, please? Thank you much, -- Paul Seniura.
