Emacs (apt-get emacs21) can do horizontal scrolling in a shell window, and can be toggled on and off by setting the variable `automatic-hscrolling' to t|nil. If you're not an emacs user, it's probably overkill to go this route unless you /really/ want horizontal scrolling immediately. On the other hand, if you already use emacs, then `C-x 5 2 RET' will open up a new frame, and in that frame you can do `M-x s h e l l RET' to get a shell prompt. You're fingers don't even have to leave the keyboard to scroll the viewable area, just use `C-x <' and `C-x >' to shift the viewed area left or right. I believe that the horizontal scrolling is turned on by default. Just another approach... -Al -- a l a n d. s a l e w s k i [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------- We have brought to market an amazingly portable secure suite. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Generated from WWW Marketing Phrase gizmo: www.lyra.org/phrase.cgi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
