Its very annoying! cmdtool/shelltool stty handling is a crock. To the uninitiated, they often make other programs look broken. Luckily, in this instance, there is an easy cure. Assuming you're using "vi" mode of "ksh", just do "set -o viraw". (I'm assuming you're using "vi" mode because that's where I've always seen this particular problem, never in emacs mode.) -- Bill Carpenter att!hos1cad!wjc or attmail!bill
