I don't know if this is related to your problems, but the cursor may sometimes become invisible when a curses-based application crashes or a ssh connection closes while a curses-based application was running. The "reset" command should restore the terminal's settings. I never had any problem with xterm, but when I was using rxvt, the cursor remained invisible. The solution was to change the rs1 value in the rxvt terminfo database. Old value: rs1=\E>\E[1;3;4;5;6l\E[?7h\E[m\E[r\E[2J\E[H New value: rs1=\E>\E[1;3;4;5;6l\E[?7h\E[m\E[r\E[2J\E[H\E[?25h I did that a few years ago, so things may have changed... -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
