Re: Cannot echo capital M
Thanks a million. A faulty .inputrc was the problem. PAI On Mon, Jul 10, 2000 at 06:02:51PM +0100, David Wright wrote: Quoting M.K.Pai ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I am facing a rather strange problem.

Do you have in .bash_profile, .bashrc, .profile, or any of those other dotfiles, or in any script they call a `stty ...` line that sets M to be a control character of some kind? Maybe some editing mangled it. Maybe a ^ was left out. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 972-729-5387 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home phone on request) http://www.koyote.com/users/bolan RE: xmailtool http://www.koyote.com/users/bolan/xmailtool/index.html I am the ILOVEGNU signature virus.
