Thus no job control in this shell. If I log out and then log back in again, all is fine. Similiarly, when I exit from X I get: Cannot execute KBDFORCEASCII ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device What could be causing this and is there a simple way to fix it? Thanks for any light that can be shed on this problem... ---john. -- johnh@genghis.borland.com ---------- This post contains 100% personal opinion!
