Is there a bug in SCO UNIX 3.2.2 job control? I'm using the Korn shell and when I type ^Z in vi, the cursor isn't positioned at the bottom line. Moreover, when I type 'fg', the screen doesn't get updated and vi doesn't recognize my keystrokes anymore. Looks like vi doesn't support job control, but I can hardly believe this (well, it IS SCO UNIX :-). $ what vi printf.c:2.2 6/5/79 SCO UNIX 3.2V2 OS 09 Jun 90 -- Ronald van der Pol <rvdp@cs.vu.nl>

Sounds to me like you might want to do a simple
clear
after doing the ^Z and a
^L
after doing the fg.

Sorry... things get confused, in some curses applications (heck, even emacs had some problems with job control under sco [due to not working with the posix termios structure]). What I use, until it gets fixed (next version, I assume), is: :!sleep 1 ^Z When I'm done, I then type 'fg', press return, and everything works properly. -- Sean Eric Fagan | "I made the universe, but please don't blame me for it; sef@kithrup.COM | I had a bellyache at the time." -----------------+ -- The Turtle (Stephen King, _It_) Any opinions expressed are my own, and generally unpopular with others.

Almost certainly true. However, just typing ^L doesn't help. ^L<CR> restores the screen, but after that I'm stuck. I received a few solutions, one of them is: ^L, :map, <CR> It works, but....

Are you sure you're running 3.2v2, not 3.2.0?
