did - no problems.  Then I remembered that clogin adds a "term len 0"
when you give it a list of commands, so did that, repeated the
commands again & got the missing newline at the end out the 'show
version' output.   But no disconnect.

Yes & that's the problem - thanks!!  Adding a "term len 60" before the
"show version" and a "term len 0" after fixes it.  So my commandtable
now looks like this:
@commandtable = (
        {'term no monitor-force'        => 'RunCommand'},
        {'term len 60'                  => 'RunCommand'},       # -LR-
        {'show version'                 => 'ShowVersion'},
        {'term len 0'                   => 'RunCommand'},       # -LR-
        {'show version build-info all'  => 'ShowVersionBuild'},


Thank you!
