I just installed X11R4 on my DECstation 3100 (Ultrix 3.1). I'm using /usr/new/csh as my shell, and when I type <escape> to do file completion, the line is messed up. Instead of backspacing over the ^[ (escape), I get a couple of blanks and then the rest of the file name. Sorta like this: % ls fo^[ o.bar Has anyone seen this and figured out how to fix it? This only happens in an xterm window; it works fine if I'm rlogged in from another host, for example. Thanks, Mike Iglesias University of California, Irvine

I have played around with the stty-settings and consulted our resident X11-guru but nothinmg helped so far ... It would be great if somebody a has a fix for this. Thanks, Marc.

What has started up this xterm? 3. Does everything look okay when you do character erases, etc.? Sounds like your terminal type is not known or some such funniness. (I am shooting in the dark here as I cannot duplicate what you are seeing but wanted you to check some things out. If you are using the session manager to start things up, try putting this into .X11Startup: stty dec < /dev/console> /dev/console ) (I did most of my grad work in Lisp, so I am compelled to balance my parens...)

Here are the answers to Frederick M. Avolio's questions: Filenamecompletion works just fine using dxterm. The xterm is started up via xdm. Oh yes, character erases etc. work just fine. And the suggested fix with X11Startup doesn't work either. Any suggestions ?? Marc
