On the latest SBBS, installed yesterday from Git, version 1.20
does not work, and version 1.19 does work.
When I say "does not work", let me clarify... It works *except*
when you try to pass the command line parameter "false". I'm
doing that in a modified command shell, like this:
That command line results in a brief screen flash when the * key
is pressed, but no other action.
The exact same command shell works fine if I replace the DD files
(two .js and two .cfg) with the 1.19 versions. The .cfg files are
un-modified in both cases.

Not sure what's happened either, but just letting you know what
it's doing for me. This is on Linux if that matters. It seems
that they (both DDFile and DDMsg) are not liking the word "false"
being passed on the command line.
