Also, I've found the following (for example) in my history file, when switching from a build that uses libedit to one that uses either the internal readline or our readline: gnuplot> set\040term\040x11 I wonder if somehow those stray sequences are getting passed to the x11 terminal (and the x11-based wxt terminal, which also suffers from this). Is the zoom history text-based, and therefore getting mangled? I'm inclined just to use the "minimal readline" unless anybody's got a fix handy. -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison >> On Jan 29, 2009, at 8:21 AM, Alexander Hansen wrote: >> >> >>> Luis Benet wrote: >>> >>>> Dear Alexander, >>>> >>>> I recently updated to 10.5.6, X11 (Xquartz 2.3.2) and also updated the >>>> programs i have installed with fink.
