>What sort of terminal are you using? If it's a program, what is the >name of the program? This sounds like a traditional terminfo problem. I'm just opening a terminal window in Gnome, and keying in standard console commands. Nothing fancy. The default windows size is 80x24. Key in a bunch of commands (ll will do) to fill up the empty screen. Then key in a long command that wraps back around to the start of the same line, BUT DON'T HIT ENTER. Now resize the window a bit smaller, then a bit larger using your mouse, and watch the line crawl up the window. That's just one of the crazy symptoms. Long commands become a real headache when you retrieve them from history as that crawling up the screen happens and you can't read the whole command line to attempt to modify it. -- Bill Gradwohl YCC (817) 224-9400 x211 www.ycc.com SPAMstomper Protected E-mail www.stomperware.com
