This is not really an incompatbility between Unix and Windows. ^C in a Windows command-line window works much the way it does in a Unix shell window; the only real difference is that shell windows are ubiquitous in Unix and command-line windows are comparatively rare in Windows. The way to "resolve" it is actually quite simple: make sure your keyboard focus is where you want it to be before you type. ("Keyboard focus" is X-speak for "where keystrokes go". Most window managers provide some kind of visual feedback to indicate which window has focus; twm, for example, changes the title bars.) As someone else already pointed out upthread, backgrounding gschem on startup will also help suppress the symptom, because then a ^C in the shell window won't kill it. (It won't do what you probably want, but that's almost always true of typing into a window other than the one you think you are.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
