I have to cut-and-paste from Edit (very annoying) Am I missing an option or what? You are "missing an option". Please read the documentation, people (I _think_ it's right :-). In the Preferences menu, there's a preference for "Emulate VT100 keypad". If this is one, you are going to get VT100 keypad codes when you type keypad keys. Sometimes, these codes match the regular ones, sometimes not. In this mode, you'll never get ~ off the keypad . . . well, almost never. The Alternate key is a temporary toggle for this option, so with VT100 keypad _on_, typing alt-shift-~ gets you tilde. Why does it default to be on? Well, because it's a vt100 terminal emulator. Maybe in the future it will be the other way, because it seems that more and more people could care less for what the keypad is used for . . . this would only affect new users, because old ones would already have the correct default in their defaults database. -- scott hess scott@gac.edu Independent NeXT Developer (Stuart) GAC Undergrad (Horrid.
