I seem to have singularly failed to downgrade to ncurses.5 *well, I *didn't* use the -f flag). On the other hand, it *does* seem to have kicked the readline.6 upgrade into life along with a handful of other ports directly linked to it. On the gripping hand, the upgrade outdated is now running alongside me. Brandon, Ryan... thanks for your time. Regards, Andy -- Andrew Long Andrew dot Long at Mac dot com
