Thanks Bob. That was a good try, but I don't get any relief with it. Still the same misformatted output. I see what you mean about not being able to tell what it does. The documentation in TERM::Readline at ENVIRONMENT reads like maybe some kind of cut and paste editing went wrong or something. It reads like gibberish. The usage of the words `head' `tail' and `ornaments' is confusing to the point of being seemingly meaningless. I suspect there was some sort of undetected editorial mishap there. or maybe a language translation problem. >From what it says there it seems setting [export PERL_RL=''] should do the same thing as [export "PERL_RL= o=0"]. Ahaa... but I did find that setting export "PERL_RL=Gnu". Cured my problem. Apparently the formatting problem is happening in the included PERL readline. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
