It doesn't matter where I put the descriptor, it just won't work. After some research into terminfo, I found out that not all terminfo support is created equal. Some programs just worked, others (non-curses programs) required modification of '/etc/termcap'. Apparently Zsh is in the latter category. I added the termcap entry, and all is well now. Thanks to all who offered help. -- Le ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
