Hi, To figure out what the other folks were seeing, I downloaded your deb package, installed it, and quickly got it running in a *console*. Sure enough, ^S was not being intercepted (Angband wasn't catching it at all; the console was catching it and doing what it normally does for ^S/^Q processing). At that point, I remembered the define switch in config.h(?) that controlled whether the save-and-continue function was available, and just assumed you, as maintainer, had disabled it. Unfortunately, I deleted the deb install and package (I've been tinkering with angband, so I prefer to use my local installation), so I can't check if it does the same in X. With my compiled version, ^S works in both console and X. I'm not using an unusual setup (config.h is only slightly changed to activate support for the borg). Hopefully the others I was talking to can tell you what they are (still) seeing. If its not the define switch, then I'll be real curious as to whats causing this behaviour. -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
