System: FreeBSD eeyore.sebster.com 4.3-STABLE FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #0: Sat May 26 11:07:12 CEST 2001 root@eeyore.sebster.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/EEYORE i386
>Description:
Using the talk utility it is possible to communicate to other users, however
if they have something to say that is longer than your buffer you lose the
information without any way to check what was said.
>How-To-Repeat:
Say a lot to somebody in a talk window in a short amount of time.
>Fix:
A very simple fix which would make talk about 1000 times more convenient
(IMHO) would be to flip the windows: put "me" in the bottom, and "him" in
the top window. That way, whether you are on the console or in an xterm,
you can scroll back to see what the other person said.
