It is so mainstream! It only seemed to be the ls that caused the problem. I could copy test from a file just fine. You may have some hidden control characters because of kvt that are causing the problems. They are busy developing kde2 and probably wouldn't spend the time to figure out what was causing the problem. It would be interesting if kde2 has the same problem because it is much more likely to get fixed there. > > Thanks for corroberating this with me. I joke that I am a lightening rod for bugs. If a product has 3 or more, I'm sure I will see one of them. BTW, why is the blank cc showing up on your message. It seems to cause two copies to end up on -questions.
