Thanks for that tip. Using dtterm might be a nice work-around for these pg-up/down related bugs. I use Opensolaris 2008.11 on my laptop, which doesn't come with any dt applications under /usr/dt/. Anybody knows what packages from IPS I need to install to get dtterm fully operational on Opensolaris (if possible). ? I did a raw copy of /usr/dt/bin and lib from my desktop where I run CDE and I had to copy a few more libraries. I could then test dtterm and pg-up/down works as expected but the font settings did not work properly. One feature that would be nice in IPS would be some way of finding out what package does a program or file belong to. Maybe there is and I've missed it. I sometimes find it hard to figure out what packages I need to install for a certain program.
