minicom expert please

[Tony Alfrey]

Hi;

I use minicom as a terminal emulator.  I have no problem setting it up 
with minicom -s, after which I select "exit", minicom starts and we're 
off.
But if I try to save the configuration, and then start with the saved 
configuration with 
minicom configuration
just like the manual says, minicom starts in some sort of endless loop 
that forces the console window to expand off the desktop, constantly 
sending what looks like the character p, followed by a carriage return 
without linefeed.
I can use it with the minicom -s trick, but this is a real PITA.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
