well okay then: -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #30 from Wayne Topa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Are you seeing GIBBERISH after viewing a binary file on your console (or in an xterm/rxvt window)? Add this to your ~/.inputrc file: "\033[[A": "reset\C-M" Now when you need a quick tty reset, just press F1 at the command prompt. Try "info rluserman" for more options.
