The Interrupt char for most people is set to a Ctrl-C. The setting can be determined from running stty. Some people use the DEL key and some Ctrl-X. This key when pressed sends a SIGINT to the process, if it's not handled properly then the process (in this case rn) will not behave as expected. You can for instance on some machines, interrupt out of vi, vi will still be running and so will rn, and they will both have the keyboard. Output of stty: speed 38400 baud; evenp hupcl intr = ^C; erase = ^H; kill = ^U; swtch = ^@; ^^^^ -- Jack Computer Support Corportion Dallas,Texas Hudler UUCP: {texsun,texbell,attctc}!csccat!jack
