You're asking about internal messages from Aquaterm, not anything that the Fink packaging puts in, so I don't really know how to interpret what they mean. You might try toggling over to another terminal time, e.g. set term x11 set term aqua and see if that reconnects it. > And why can't AquaTerm tell whether gnuplot is still running?

AquaTerm used to quit when one quit gnuplot, didn't it? The missing keyboard shortcut isn't likely to be due to anything we did: that sounds like something that got changed upstream. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
