I recently asked my System Administrator to have it changed to /bin/sh for purposes of ease (I have no documentation to csh) and he did. Ever since then when I have tried to shell-escape from the ':' prompt of ex I have gotten this message on every executed command: {pid} : Terminated with singal 10 -- core dumped. Where pid is the process-ID number of the command I tried to execute. Apparently, a process is started but the command is not run.. I've checked this.. Can anybody help me with my problem? Thanks alot.. -- touchton@altger.UUCP (Evan Robinson) /\ touchton@althh.UUCP !uunet!unido!{altger,altger!althh}!touchton "A dirty mind is a teribble thing to waste..." -INFOCOM
