I have noticed almost exactly the same problem, but when connected to a remote system via telnet. In this case, echo is lost immediately after ^C out of man. The same system used in console mode locally is fine, but if I telnet to localhost, the problem occurs. I though it was something I needed to RTFM for, so hadn't asked here. "stty echo" fixes it - previously I was having to log out and back in again. This is true with 2.2.7S (7-15-98) and 2.2.6R, and I don't think it's confined to bash - I got the same problem in csh, but not sh. So I'm not sure an upgrade is the solution, unless there's been a recent change. Is this a bug? I have also been quitting "man" with ^C, but just realized that as "man" uses "more" as the default pager, you can quit with "q". This seems to avoid the problem of loss of echo. -- Graeme Tait - Echidna To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
