Best example is: root@v1:~ #echo "Hello World!" Hello World! You *sometimes* don't get the prompt back, until you press a key. Other examples would be running 'ps ax' - nothing appears to happen - again, until you press another key. This is only a cosmetic annoyance - just wondered if it was a known issue / any fix for it? -Karl
