If I exit from a 'man' page halfway through its contents using control C (^C) then subsequent pressing on the Enter key fails to move the prompt onto a new line. Instead the new prompt appears further along the original line. Any characters I enter fail to appear at the prompt until after I push the Enter key. At the moment I have to start a new xterm to get round this (or try to remember to not use ^C in a man page) eg./ Rather then getting: Myprompt> [Enter] Myprompt> [Enter] Myprompt> I get: Myprompt> [Enter] Myprompt> [Enter] Myprompt> Thankyou for your time, Jonathan Wall PS./ Please let me know if this message is not formatted correctly - I am using DaVinci eMAIL for Windows and despite adding the line 'Unix_Wrap = 70' to the inifile I don't think it's doing much good.
