Hi guys, quick (and hopefully easy) question about running emacs on the next. I am using 1.0 (for now) and am having trouble starting up a shell. I get a prompt, but also the warning: Incomplete termcap entry. Editing disabled. and some garbage on my window. So, of course, I can't use any full screen applications. I know a little about termcap, but not much, and I know for sure I haven't done anything to it, and nor would anyone else using this machine. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance, David David K. Codelli |"Are you sure you don't want some- Georgia Institute of Technology | thing for the pain, Col. Flagg?

Thanks to all those who responded to my original posting. I received several responses by mail, most of which advised me to use the Terminal application or obtain Scott Hess's Stuart. Unfortunately, I had already tried with Terminal, and once I obtained Stuart (check's in the mail, Scott) I started getting the error, Opening pty - permission denied even in Terminal. The other solutions I received did not work, either. Does this mean something is wrong with my termcap? Thanks in advance, David David K.
