What symptoms would be > seen if I was running an emulator that was affected by the error? The initialization string attempts to change your terminal into a VT200 with 7-bit control codes. We've only seen the problem on this one emulator (it's a brand new terminal emulator). The error in the initialization string causes the emulator to revert back to it's default state (VT200 with 8-bit control codes). This causes problems with VT200 extended keys (Find, Select, Prev, Next, etc. and function keys). -- Kent Covert, Software Coordinator Miami Computing and Information Services Miami University, Oxford, OH [log in to unmask]
