These same programs don't work properly in cmdtool. Hos does adding mouse control influence that? cmdtool appears to be in cbreak mode, but isn't. The toolkit is doing all of the work to edit the command line, and the shell - or any other program running in a cmdtool window - gets the benefit of a consistant method for editing text without having to do any work. Can you use the ksh editing commands when you are running /usr/ucb/mail? Nope. But you can with cmdtool. -- Bruce G. Barnett barnett@crd.ge.com uunet!crdgw1!barnett
