I've heavily tweaked the original directory structure of the pcvt distrib- ution to fit halfways into our /usr/src structure. Maintaining the pcvt doc under /usr/share would cause the potential risk of being different from the docs under /usr/src. I think it might be possible to make this doc a separate (small) source package however, and leave a pointer to it under /usr/share. (Maybe i will add a small intro for the keyboard usage into pcvt(4), but hey, did you even read that man page? :-) > > > typing esc-k-return (with bash set -ao vi that is) ... > > Well, you `vi' fans out there.

Not to start a ``why is mine better than yours'' discussion, but i've always found the arrow keys easier to `learn'. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
