For that to work, it requires having 'set suspend' in your nanorc. (Which I don't have, because it annoys me when nano drops into the background when I accidentally hit ^Z.) Luckily one can toggle suspendability on with M-Z, but... somehow that doesn't seem to work when nano is screenless. When I use nano with --ignorercfiles, M-Z does work. Maybe the colors do something strange with the pipe? And when I use LANGUAGE=en, it works too. Ha! Esperanto pisses off the pipe, too. :) Benno -- http://www.fastmail.com - IMAP accessible web-mail
