The problem was that the delete and break keys on my 3B2 stopped working apparently after I lost a cu connection that originated on that 3B2. I posted a long article describing what had happened during that cu session and why I thought the broken connection was responsible for the problem. Well, it turns out that on or about the same day, my officemate changed the ulimit statement in /etc/profile and tried to set ulimit to an unacceptable value. Shell would not like that statement, reject it with a bad ulimit message, and exit from /etc/profile right there before executing trap 2 3, which should restore the delete and break keys to functionality. We fixed the ulimit statement as two mail responses to my article had suggested and the problem went away. The failed cu connection coincidentally happened the same day that I noticed the problem. Thanks to those who responded. H. Reza Taheri ...!ihnp4!ihuxn!reza (312)-979-7473
