> I have compiled bash 1.12 on a sparcstation running > sunos 4.1.2 . > > My problem is that the arrow keys don't work in a > sun command tool ( $TERM=sun-cmd ). There are two problems. First, the termcap definition lies about the capabilites supported by cmdtool. Second, cmdtool doesn't let input get through to the application unscathed -- since it wants to let the user do mouse-based line editing and the like, it intercepts input. I suspect a combination of those things is causing your difficulty. -- ``The use of history as therapy means the corruption of history as history.'' -- Arthur Schlesinger Chet Ramey, Case Western Reserve University Internet: chet@po.CWRU.Edu
