SysVr3.0 on a 3B2/400
My docs for stty(1) say:
"sane resets all modes to some reasonable values."
But, nowhere does it say what those reasonable values are, nor why they
are considered reasonable. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Well, try this: $ stty -a # or -all or everything or whatever it is $ stty sane $ stty -a # or -all or everything or whatever it is and then stare at the differences. It usually sets things up similar to the way it "used to be". Like @ and # as editing chars, DEL as intr, etc. -- Larry McVoy lm@arizona.edu or ...!{uwvax,sun}!arizona.edu!lm Use the force - read the source.

I don't mean to be droll, but we scientific types would just try it and then inquire about what stty settings we end up with.
