A user just had quite a strange problem for which I wondered if anyone had a fix. They are using the xterm from the latest MIT X11R4 tape, compiled for SunOS 4.1.1 . They are using OpenWindows 2.0. They performed a set command, which of course echoed their environment. Within their EXINIT variable were a number of map commands, including a series of escape sequences. When the shell got around to echoing out the map for Escape P (that is a capital P) the output ceased. It took a hard reset of the terminal to get input and output to resume. I assume that xterm's state table interpreting escape sequences has a problem. Unknown escape sequences should just fall out I would think- but instead are causing the program to 'cease' up. Anyone know what the fix is for this problem? Thanks! -- Larry W.
