I discovered that I had the set filec option turned on which causes file completion when you hit the ESC key. When I turned that option off, I was able to issue the sequence I had in the last entry. I am still interested though, in knowing how to issue escape sequences inside the shell at the terminal. I have openwindows for SPARC STATION 1+. In the console man page for SUNOS 4.1, there are a series of escape sequences to do cursor moves, new page, misc terminal stuff. I tried to use echo to send these to the shell and the pseudo terminalo but when I did, nothing happend. I also wrote a c program where I sent a \033<sequence> in a printf statement and nothing happend on the screen. Got any ideas Sean Coleman NIST Boulder, CO coleman@bldrdoc.gov
