As said earlier in this discussion: dup2() does not work in this case. The ‐f switch allows easy recording of st sessions and so is useful to the users. I didn’t know of teseq before, but it seems nice if some strange se‐ quence appears again. Now I learned to read the escape sequences in cat ‐v. Sincerely, Christoph
