Two very annoying problems ... can anyone help? I'm running SCO Unix 3.2.2. 1) When elm is run as root over a modem (but not on the console) the screen-handling goes to pot and everything appears at the top of the screen. Actually, this may be a general SCO problem as less V1.77 crashes under the same circumstances. 2) When trying to send a file as mail with a subject of, say, "This is a File", elm tries to send mail with a subject of "This" to is, a, File and the user. The syntax I use is: elm -s "This is a file" user@domain.co.uk Thanks for any light you may be able to shed on these problems.

It occured, as you say, only when running as root over a modem. There was no good answer provided by anyone. The problem went away after I installed one of the SLS upgrades that I downloaded from SCO. But I can't now recall which of the SLSs it was. >2) When trying to send a file as mail with a subject of, say, "This >is a File", elm tries to send mail with a subject of "This" to is, a, >File and the user. The syntax I use is: > elm -s "This is a file" user@domain.co.uk I use such sytnax all the time with no problem. Which shell are you in, or is this command in some script.

The syntax I use is: >> elm -s "This is a file" user@domain.co.uk Under csh, elm -s'This is a file' user@domain.co.uk works for me. But of course, elm -s'That's a file, too' user@domain.co.uk fails, as expected...... -- A host is a host from coast to coast.....wb8foz@mthvax.cs.miami.edu & no one will talk to a host that's close............(305) 255-RTFM Unless the host (that isn't close)......................pob 570-335 is busy, hung or dead....................................33257-0335
