Since it also appears in SSH, it is something wrong with the box, and not how you interface with it. You said "Ctrl-v fixed it", so odds are that you are not in the wrong keyboard layout. One of the few things that I happen to remember about C-v is that for readline it means "verbatim", so I took a wild, flying guess. As to how I know C-v is verbatim? That came from trying to create ASCII art by hand ... :) Best, W -- Willie W.
