If you run "echo test", you will of cours see the new command prompt on the braille display, because the prompt is printed after "test" and because the screen cursor is located at the end of the prompt. I believe this is clear to you. Now, if you use the LNUP (line up) command of BRLTTY, you should see the word "test" or an empty braille window, if the command prompt was longer than your braille display. LNUP command does not move the braille window to the left side of the terminal, it just moves one line up keeping the braille window's left edge where it was. To get to see the beginning of the line you need to use FWINLT (full window left), LNBEG (line beginning) or a similar command. But if scrolling up immediately shows the previous command prompt (and your echocommand), it could be that you have invoked the PRPROMPT BRLTTY command (which stands for previous prompt). It scrolls up in the terminal window until it finds something that looks like a command prompt. Hopefully this helps. -- Aura _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
