Where are you setting it? Short version. -------------- start an xterm, type stty quit ""<return> stty -a shows quit as "<UNDEF>" start another xterm stty -a shows quit as "^\" but ctrl-f4 is buggered up entirely :( see Vincent's post, I think that is what he is referring to. also see below, for an attempt at describing it. Slightly longer version. ------------------------ Curiouser and Curiouser :) I use startx (no DE, just barebones FVWM) and in my .xsessionrc I have: --- xterm -fn 10x20 -xrm "XTerm.vt100.background: #CCA8AA" -xrm \ "XTerm.vt100.foreground: blue" -geom 50x25 & --- Once X starts, and I type stty quit ""<return> then mutt, ctrl-f4 just beeps. If I invoke *another* xterm from the menu and just type mutt, ctrl-f4 quits el pronto. If I then type stty quit ""<return> in that other xterm then mutt, ctrl-f4 just beeps as expected. If I then invoke another xterm from the menu, ctrl-f4 just beeps. I think this is what Vincent, was referring to; its now buggered up ctrl-f4. Even a cold restart doesn't bring ctrl-f4 back to quitting. :( (If I can clear the setting, for ctrl-f4 I can mess around a bit more, because I can't see the logic in my above test. I'd like to confirm it) BUT quit is reset back to ctrl-\, on the start of a new xterm using "stty -a" shows the settings. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X
