So we're on to a couple of other "newbie" questions (but I have done some research before asking them ). 1. I found binaries for texinfo on Ted Jump's page so that I could use all of those marvelous info files I downloaded from Cygnus . However, the key doesn't work as described; the key brings up a split screen with some help in it, the actual keypad key doesn't do anything, just beeps a few times, I presume because it's sending some escape sequence that info isn't recognizing. I have TERM set to linux, and I have both terminfo and termcap entries for linux. 2. I also found binaries for man on Michael Hirmke's (I didn't go look that up, so I probably just butchered his name; sorry Michael) ftp site. It also works great, except where there are supposed to be end-of-line dashes I'm getting . For example, I get the following lines from less' man page: size, only the final screenful is displayed. Warn ing: some systems use ^V as a special literaliza tion character. The characters are in blue on white, rather than the white on blue of the rest of the text (in other words, it's reverse video ). 3. Doesn't bash read .bashrc on startup? I'm changing to my home directory before invoking bash, but it's still not running it when it starts. Thanks!
