Mail archives indicated that these (and others, I suppose) apps. reset the console but did not offer much of a solution. Would a simple shell script that ran midc (for example) and did the vidcontrol thing as above work? Any way _not_ to have to do this for every bloody program for every ttyv? As for problem a. above, I have no clue. Thanks. -duke To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
