If I am looking at a zsh prompt, it won't work, the "^Q" is apparently eaten and never shown to screen. However if I am running any other text program (like mutt, less, etc.) then the "^Q" works and lets me talk to screen. I have tried this with the zsh-option no_flow_control set and unset, it doesn't seem to have any effect. What is happening? Thanks. -- Scott RoLanD http://www.chat.net/~shr/
