I'm using trn regularly on FreeBSD-{2.0.5,current}, and i've never seen these problems. Okay, i arguably don't use shell escapes at all (why should i, that i've got ^Z?), but i've never seen the initscr problem, and 99.9 % of all my trn sessions are under xterm. Do you have some more data on how to reproduce the bug? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
