Power Computing users with the IMS TwinTurbo Video card have reported problems with seeing the '_' character on their screen when 'text acceleration' is turned on.
In certain fonts such as Courier, the '_' character would not appear on the screen while typing unless the text acceleration was turned off.

This issue has been addressed in the IMS TwinTurbo Video driver software, version 3.8. This software is currently available at the IMS Web site and will be included with future Power Computing systems.

As a workaround, you can set up the IMS driver to disable text acceleration via the CAPS LOCK key in the IMS TwinTurbo Control Panel. The key will act as a toggle. Whenever you need to type an '_' character, turn off the acceleration by depressing CAPS LOCK.
