From article <836@savant.UUCP>, by jon@savant.UUCP (Jon Gefaell): >>...after i saved, i only had the last line on the screen displaying >>my new text. (ever view a file thru a one-line window?!:-). >> >>i had to shut down and reboot. No, you didn't. This appears to be some strange artifact of resetting modes under terminfo on Esix. (By the way, it still happens in Rev. D.) Anyway, all you have to do is type ^[-c (i.e. escape lower-case-c) at the prompt and hit return. This should fix you right up. In the worst case, get to a login prompt and do the same thing. This clears whatever weird terminal mode you were in. By the way, the folks at Esix tech support would have been happy to tell you this workaround (it's where I originally got it). -Scott Garfinkle
