I noticed this mainly in BitchX where I could not switch windows.. yet could from a different computer via telnet. I think, this is problem with Alt/Meta If you have keyboard with "Windows" keys, then Meta is key with "Windows banner" and Alt is just Alt key. If you had keyboard without "WinKeys" then on that keyboard Alt was also Meta. So, try "Windows banner" key with BitchX. -- Igor Roboul, Unix System Administrator & Programmer @ sanatorium "Raduga", Sochi, Russia http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=304744 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
