Hi! ----
Small question/request for/in April/Mike's direction: Should we enable the "multiline" mode (=an interactive input mode which renders a line which is longer then the terminal's width in the following line, e.g. start ksh93 via % ksh93 -o gmacs -o multiline #) in /etc/ksh.kshrc ? IMO it may be usefull as it is less frustrating for beginners, is much closer to bash's behaviour and avoids trouble when writing longer lines at the command line, however there are (or were) small glitches (see http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ksh93-integration-discuss/2006-May/000293.html ; I am not sure whether David or Glenn looked at that problem yet) which may be annoying (the workaround is to press "<CTRL>L" to refresh the current line) ... ... I am not sure how to proceed here. The feature is valueable but I am not sure how often users would be hit by the problems described in my old posting. Can you test this (incl. an UTF-8 locale) and then think about whether we should enable this ? ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
