Here are two things that are annoying me when I use the RS 6000's. 1) MANY times, whenever I try to execute a unix command, I get either "Background Read" or "Background Write" as an error message, and the command doesnt run. It always happens when I try this: pine% which <any unix command> Background Write pine% 2) X11R4 is running here, with the patches from MIT. When I pop up an xterm window, something happens that makes the carriage return produce a line feed only. Pressing return a couple of times gets me this: pine% pine% pine% pine% The terminal problem above also happens sometimes in the HFT. any help would be appreciated. ____________________________________________________________ James Trammell University of Michigan trammell@engin.umich.edu ------------------------------------------------------------
