I have a vi question: whenever I execute a shell command from within vi, (say 'fmt'), I get right before the point where the cursor was when I executed the command a sequence of control characters, namely: ^[K (Notice that this happens only on a SUN workstation and not on a VAX) Where does this sequence come from and How can I get rid of it? Thanks in advance, isidore ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Isidore Rigoutsos |INTERNET: rigoutso@acf8.nyu.edu Robotics Lab., Computer Science Department,|BITNET: rigoutso%acf8@UCCVM.NYU.EDU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences,| or rigoutso%acf8@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU New York University, New York, NY 10012 | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
