xterm runs curses-ish programs like less and vim on a separate screen. If you fire up vim and issue ":!echo foo", foo (and the "press enter" prompt) will be echoed on the normal xterm screen, and those messages should already be there by then. Why vim tries to talk to X11 when starting up in an xterm is something I never figured out. -- ..: Chad Daelhousen == [EMAIL PROTECTED] :.........: sig v3.2 :... : Programming for 11 +/- 2 years (52.4 +/- 9.5% of a lifetime) : :.............Featurrific: from feature + horrific or terrific.: -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
