When I was using 2.2.5, I had this chronic problem where when I was in vi, on the shell line, or in other curses-type programs (though not always using curses), the arrow keys would often "stick." That is, if you pressed the key, nothing would happen. You would have to hit ESC, then (in vi) you would hear a beep (indicating that it wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary). When I upgraded to 2.2.6, it all seem to go away (for a while). Now it's back. (But not as often.) It's a very annoying (and very vague) problem. You have to hit ESC every once in a while... Just curious. -Drifter -- drifter@stratos.nospam.net (remove nospam to send) "Ever notice that in every commercial about the Internet, advertising geniuses can't resist having a bunch of kids staring into a monitor, awe- struck, looking at a whale jumping out of the ocean?
