Patch #1 for trn (due out in a couple days) will contain modifications to Configure and mbox.saver.SH to support the building of an mbox.saver that handles the ^A^A^A^A format (among other changes). > 2) For some reason the backspace key does not move the cursor backwards > on a command line, although it does erase the buffer. Check your termcap definition. If it contains the 'bs' flag trn will use a backspace (^H) to backup on the command line. If it doesn't, you need either a 'bc' or 'le' string definition to tell trn what character backs up on your terminal. -- \ /| / /|\/ /| /(_) Wayne Davison (_)/ |/ /\|/ / |/ \ davison@dri.com (W A Y N e) ...!uunet!drivax!davison
