I don't understand, can you explain more?
No, the CMDSEP (see defines.h) character is currently assigned to ';' as you can imagine this can be pretty annoying when you write a sentence containing ";" and it breaks the sentence. What lavachat.symlynx.com/unix/ (one of the historic subpages of psyced.org) sets the character to is (I'll expand this one for readability now): Keysym-Name "section" html hexadecimal "§" html named char "§" LaTeX "\S" on my keyboard "ยง" So you can use it as a chatclient as you can use any telnet client as a chat client, but what I had written is not correct and was based on assumptions recently corrected. I could expand the description with this knowledge to something similar to "it can also be used as a chatclient for various chatservers like psyced.org, but keep in mind that we use an unpatched version here which maps ";" to commando separation." What do you think, should I extend the description I submitted in this thread, based on what I just explained? -- ng personal contact: http://krosos.sdf.org EDN: https://wiki.c3d2.de/EDN
