Being artificially obnoxious can grant you the help of others! :) Thanks Christos! I have tried all four permutations: settc am [yes|no] settc xn [yes|no] of these variable settings in my .login -- the marriage of Stuart and tcsh-6.02 is still stormy. When it comes to termcaps I am a dunce -- I achieve low levels on the geek-o-meter. So I am not sure what to do next; I have notified Scott Hess; he'll probably take a look at this when he has time. I could also study the tcsh manual page for the next week -- my music professors may have trouble understanding the value of this. If I am the only victim of this new implementation, then I will try to use an older binary. The problem is another student here loves the new tcsh features. I could defect to the born-again-shell, the korn shell or some other beast of burden. A frothy Babel is brewing in cyberspace.
