when i open a sunview session and start a cmdtool with the filec parameter in the csh set, hitting the escape key finishes uncompleted file names but also kills the current command line. when i start up a subshell from within certain applications (vi doesn't seem to be one of them), asking the shell for file name completion in the same manner works fine. inverse video seems to follow the similar behaviour. i've checked the environment, the stty parameters, etc., and can find no difference between the parent and child shells. is the problem related to process group id's or some such? if so, how is it remedied? thanks very much, sid ======================================================================= s cowles att: +1 415 423 0929 lawrence livermore national lab uucp: {backbone}!lll-lcc!scowles environmental sciences division internet: scowles@lll-lcc.llnl.gov p. o. box 5507; L-524 livermore, california 94550 =======================================================================
