Yes, except that I'm not sure about the name; maybe "plain"? This isn't just an issue for batch jobs; my usual "terminal" is XEmacs' shell-mode, which doesn't process ^H (or ^M or ^G for that matter). [For programs which use ^M, you can at least use "stty ocrnl".] Maybe a better solution is to allow the specification of an arbitrary string which is used to "rewind" percent output. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
