Typing 'reset' and/or 'stty sane' in the console helps most of the times. Then there's some echo (echo <ctrl-V><ctrl-O> maybe) that also resets the console. You could also use a shell that doesn't corrupt your display, like zsh. :) -- Tommi Komulainen [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG 1024D/68388EE6 6FD6 DD79 EB38 BF6F 3533 09C0 04A8 9871 6838 8EE6
