I'm still using version 1.4.2.1i because all later versions have serious keyboard mapping problems on my Sun Solaris 10 SPARC system. I'm sure that it is related to ncurses and that there is probably some solution for the problems I have, but I now remember spending a huge amount of time trying to get my macros assigned to the function and keypad keys to work under 1.5 and finally gave up and went back to 1.4. It has been so long that I have been living with 1.4 that I forgot that I was using the old version. Thanks for setting me straight and I'm sorry for bringing up an old subject like this. Regards, -- Jeff
