Re: Japanese keyboard auto-detection
Alexander, Thank you for supporting Japanese keyboards. It is really useful for us. I have one request on this feature. Could you change the line { 0x411, -1, "jp","jp", NULL, NULL, "Japanese"}, to { 0x411, 7, "jp","jp", NULL, NULL, "Japanese"}, in winconfig.c? It prevents JP layouts loaded for JP Windows with US keyboards. Thanks in advance. Takuma Murakami ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

It surely works on my machine, both by Control Panel and by the function LoadKeyboardLayout. Thank you for the excellent solution. Takuma Murakami ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Re: Mississippi -> Miiippi
Additional information. This weird behavior can only be observed in an xterm with bash. If I invoke it by "xterm -e tcsh" then no problem. If I do "xterm -e bash" (or without -e bash) then no 's' allowed at the prompt. I can't type nor paste. The stdout still works so that I do see all the 's'es in a command output. But not at the shell prompt. The bash shell prompt.

I have no intention to secure the X connection. I use ssh simply because the remote guy doesn't have a telnet server running. Do I still need to use the -X option? ) By the way, you're using ssh all wrong. What you should really be doing is: ) ) 1) Invoke startxwin.sh ) 2) In the local xterm, verify that the value of DISPLAY is 127.0.0.1:0 ) (and set it to that if it is not) ) 3) ssh to the remote box using the "-X" flag to enable X-forwarding. ) 4) Once connected to the remote host, verify that the value of DISPLAY ) is something like remotehost:8. ) 5) Run your remote X-clients normally.

In this xterm window, I couldn't type the letter 's'. Not only I couldn't type, but I was unable to yank and copy a string with 's'. For example, I yanked a string "tcsh" in another xterm window and pasted it in this troubled xterm window, it displayed "tch".

That will automatically send me an email and allow me to track which issues are open, invalid, and fixed. As it is right now we are not using any bug tracking system, so I expect that this will at least help me to stop forgetting open issues. Waiting for those first few bugs to be entered...
