Bash, csh and FreeBSD's /bin/csh all support it.

You need an external seesion manager to do this (possibly RH's bash does fills that role). Personally, I use xemacs, and then do "gnuclient -nw' get xemacs to start a frame on my tty. If xemacs is a bit more than you want to deal with, look into the screen utility, which is in the ports tree. <mike > On Tue, 28 Nov 2000, Rick Hamell wrote: > > > > > > Occasionally, I have accidentally hit cntrl-Z when trying to hit cntrl-C. > > > Cntrl-Z suspends whatever process I was running and returns me to the > > > command prompt.
