In my ~/.profile I have --------------------------- ENV=$HOME/.kshrc;export ENV SHELL=/bin/ksh;export SHELL <---- I don't think this line is relevant --------------------------- And in my ~/.kshrc I have -------------------------------------------------------- stty quit intr kill erase  -noflsh ixon ixoff -------------------------------------------------------- Everything works fine for me, no need to escape my @'s in elm either. I just checked from UA too and it works.. Hope this helps -- Rex Fowler UUCP: egsner!texrex!rmfowler
