Is there something I havedone wrong? popcli probably runs NewCLI instead of AShell. Might I suggest you use qmouse instead? It is small (4K) and quite flexible. It's probably on xanth.cs.odu.edu, or I guess I could email you it. Might I also suggest you talk to your system administrator about the hostname appearing above? The domain is repeated twice... (or you have a very strangely named domain.) Deven -- Deven T.

It seems that if you want a shell popper, most of the time you also get a screen blanker, and possibly more. It's certainly not the "Unix philosophy" that every program should do just one thing, do it very well, and cooperate with every other program. (I do expect a shell popper to allow me to indicate what shell it is supposed to pop.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- William F.

Oh, and EMACS is? Let me see, it is an OK editor that can play towers of hanoi, ELIZA, read news, insert cookies, .... All for just 1673428 bytes of executable code! I say that is a program that does one thing and does it well.
