Tried your sh script below... not much luck! It rendered the prompt in my chosen color, but that's it. A curious observation though, midc doesn't trash the screen border that I have set up using vidcontrol; only the fg and bg colors. Did your script work on your system? BTW, would the script be identical in csh? Thanks. -duke -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Fromme <olli@dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de> To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: Monday, December 27, 1999 9:01 AM Subject: Re: cons25 && (midc, /stand/sysinstall, etc) >Duke Normandin wrote in list.freebsd-questions: > > From: Oliver Fromme <olli@dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de> > > >#!/bin/sh - > > >midc "$@" > > >vidcontrol ...
