From: mitnits AT macs DOT biu DOT ac DOT il (Roman Mitnitski) Subject: Small but annoying tcsh problem - any remedies? 18 Mar 1998 05:24:50 -0800 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Hi. I encouner constistent problem with very long command lines of tcsh when it runs in console window (NT 4 SP3). Every time cursor reaches last (80s) column of the window it automatically goes to the next line AND tcsh adds new line. After this, editing of the line is nearly impossible because it looks like a mess. (I heard same problem was encoutered with ncurses - tests show that character at 80:25 position causes extra scroll up. BTW this bug shows in xemacs in console mode when long message is printed in status line) Since I have very little knowledge of workings of termcap and ncurses, perhaps someone here knows what (if any) changes need to be made to termcap or terminfo to fix the problem. Another question (less important) is how comes that if I start job in the background (i.e. xterm starts from console tcsh window) and then exit from the shell background job (like, xterm) gets killed? Thanks in advance Roman - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
