Propably not strictly related to zsh, but I'll ask anyway: I'm having a bit different problem with terminal under HPUX 10.20. Most if not all programs I run seem to ruin my terminal settings so that when I return to zsh, arrow keys work no more. When I login (using ssh under xterm) I can use arrow keys, but after for example using less, arrow keys just produce 'A' and 'B' and some control characters. When I press up and down arrow, I get 'A', and 'B' on the next line. The cursor is then after 'A': prompt % A_ B Most of the time 'reset' restores the arrow keys, but not always. ttyctl -f does not help. This also happens very rarely under linux. Sometimes when I log out from HPUX back to linux, the arrow keys are still missing (most of the time, they are not). In this case, they seem to be harder to restore. Now, I believe this must be quite a typical problem, but I've not found a cure. I've also not found a good FAQ or web page on these terminal problems. Typing reset after every command is tedious. Perhaps somebody could help me here? -- "Olet sietämätön tyyppi Ja mielipiteesi ovat vääriä Älä soita tänne enää koskaan!" - Ultra Bra
