Works there, but you can still press the Scroll Lock key and then use the cursor / page moving keys to check what's "up" there. If you need to clear the console when logging out, just put the command clear in your ~/.logout, or globally into /etc/csh.logout. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
