Greetings,
Occasionally I find that my wsh's have been clobbered in some way: they
still work, but the CR/LF combination has been clobbered, so that everything
ends up being shifted across the screen ---->
ls *
file.out
goof.but
pplo.d
etc.......
How does one reset the shell (or stty, or whatever) to recover
sane behaviour? Of course it can be fixed by killing the window and
starting up a new one, but there must a more elegant way than that!
Ian
