Speaking of vt100 emulation: when I try to use the csh "filec" facility on an Apollo, the command line is not redisplayed correctly: When I type ^D: hubble 1% ls .l^D .login .logout hubble 1% <- No redisplay, should be ls .l ^^^^^ or <ESC>: hubble 1% ls .a<ESC> hubble 1% ls ias <- Incorrect redisplay, should be ls .alias ^^^^^ However, the command line buffer is correct, as typing <return> issues the correct command: hubble 1% ls ias .alias hubble 2% This happens on both vt100 emulation run from a DM pad, and also with telnet logins using vt100 emulation. I have checked my stty settings and they are the same as on some other machines on which filec works correctly for me (e.g., Sun and SGI). Any suggestions or advice?

"Filec" is broken (and has always been broken at SR10), though HPollo claims that it works as of SR10.2 - well, it does work, but you have to use the "rprnt" key (^R by default, but we change it to ^_ since ^R is used to redraw the screen in vi on terminals where ^L is used for cursor right) to see the completed line. We have given up on this being fixed, and don't use it, though many users want it (must be "performing to specification" :-) ). I have an APR from SR10.0 on this one. -- Mike Peterson, System Administrator, U/Toronto Department of Chemistry E-mail: system@alchemy.chem.utoronto.ca Tel: (416) 978-7094 Fax: (416) 978-8775

Folks, Thanks to those who responded to my query on csh "filec" Domain/OS. As I suspected, it's broken and probably won't be fixed any time soon. I have previously used the ^R (rprnt) work-around that several people suggested, but I was hoping that there was a fix that would make filec work correctly. -- Andy -------- Andy Tosswill (atosswil@bbn.com) BBN Systems and Technologies, Advanced Simulation 14100 SE 36th Street, Bellevue, WA 98006 USA Phone: 206 746 6800 Fax: 206 746 1335
