I have installed patch 1 and 2. Two things: One, cmdtool with scrolling enabled doesn't do cursor positioning. The workaround is to disable scrolling before running trn. Two, before starting trn, issue a \E3 or \E4 (an Escape 3 or 4). I forget which one it is, but it should kick it into a panel, which is what you get with vi, or other packages which use curses instead of termlib. -- Jim Anderson (612) 636-7451 Saylors Software First jim@saylor.mn.org or jim@aob.mn.org 6532 Edenvale Blvd Lucifer designed MS-DOS to try men's souls.
