Or add the line: turn X off in your .ytalkrc to make it command line I use ytalk whenever I can, because many stupid terminals (like the ones I have to use on Macs and NT machines in the lab) tend to put a lot of ^H's up on the screen, while ytalk doesn't. Ytalk also has the shell option, which I find very usefull in illustrating points. The only problem is that talk and ytalk don't talk to each other, and whenver you ring someone with ytalk, it says' ... type talk jandrese@jandrese.async.vt.edu to respond... where they should type ytalk instead. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::. . . . . ..:::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: Jason Andresen :. . . . . . . . . : Running FreeBSD and :: :: jandrese@vt.edu :.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:: loving every minute! :: :.........................: Quote of the day :..........................: A dozen, a gross, and a score, Plus three times the square root of four, Divided by seven, Plus five times eleven, Equals nine squared plus zero, no more. :::::::::::.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.........................:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:::::::::::
