This has been reported by several souls. Preleminary indications are that this is unique to Windows 95. What OS are you running? Other indications are that Cygnus will not take this problem seriously until many more souls report it... if even then! > 7) Lastly I have problems with trying to read the output from make etc. > as it scrolls by fast and I press C-s to pause the output.

However, most things I want to read from the screen are piped through 'more' which is aliased to less with $LESS set to '-egiM'. When doing builds, I use a command line such as 'make > build.log 2>&1' from 'bash'. This allows me to review the build at my leisure. -glenn -- Glenn Spell Fayetteville, North Carolina, U. S.
