Greetings Yes, I have seen this problem, but I can't remember whether it was on the console, in X or both. At the time, I was also having problems using the arrows keys in console editors (vim, vi and ee). I tracked it down to this entry in my .cshrc: setenv TERM=xterm-color. I don't know what your circumstances are, whether you're having this problem on the console or in X, but make sure your TERM variable is set to a suitable type (cons25 I believe is the default). If you're using a window manager, from experience I can tell you that KDE2's terminal programs are the pits and tend to cause a lot of problems. Try using XFree86's xterm and see if that helps. X's xterm also works out of the box with color. Kelly On Sun, Jan 28, 2001 at 12:40:32PM -0500, Paul A.
