No, and as I've heard there's no interest for it among the developers as long there is screen, besides what you want that for, dount you run X ? :P : - On my Unix-account on the university I use 'csh' as my default shell. : I did this too on NetBSD, but when I press the cursorkeys I just get weird : characters. Usually it is possible to "go back to previous commands" when : pressing these keys. Yup, another dumb thing with NetBSD. Why there isnt a better default shell, I dunno. I've installed bash, and set /bin/bash as shell for root with vipw, but I always get complaines about "unknown rootshell" even though its no problems using it. -- Kolbjorn Barmen /// "I met the Amiga and fell in love ...." kolla@nvg.unit.no \XX/ http://www.nvg.unit.no/~kolla (arena enhanced)
