> what emulator are you using? try making the window bigger?? This looks like the old difference between the way windows and UNIX/LINUX handle the end-of-line sequence (LF or LF/CR). I think a more productive approach than resizing the window would be to look in the configuration setting of the terminal emulator for a CR/LF setting. or you could switch (if necessary) to putty. I have used it for years. the problem you report does not appear using putty. The putty website is:http: //www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ dlg
