The NOBLINK_CURSOR mods don't >seem to be a problem. (They better not be. :) The change only broke elvis. bash-1.14.2's special handling for the last column is broken. bash-1.14.3 works OK. elvis thinks that the "am" termcap capability means that the cursor automatically wraps to column 0 of the next line when a character is printed in the last column. Is this what "am" means? There is often no problem, but when elvis doesn't need to print anything on the next line, it attempts to go to column 0 of the line after that using \r\n or \n\r, and the change breaks this. Bruce
