Summary: Is elm messing up your stty settings?

It could be that elm is not restoring your stty settings correctly.  I
have a simple csh alias that takes care of this problem, which is
especially frequent in my own programs:  :-)

alias oops 'stty sane erase \^h intr \^c kill \^y echoe ixany ; stty'

This restores my stty settings (at least the ones that seem to get
garbled the most) and then prints them on the screen.
