That is: it dosen't even prompt me for confirmation of removal and dosen't remove anything. 'rm -f' still works though. If I restart the terminal it works again for a while. Strange... I suspect it might be terminal thing because sometimes the removal confirmations prompts are printed when I hit but I can't answer them, I am put directly at the next shell prompt. retriever:~/tmp/biss/lib/jas% rm *.java rm: remove `AsciiCP.java'? rm: remove `CP.java'? rm: remove `CatchEntry.jav= a'? rm: remove `Catchtable.java'? rm: remove `ClassCP.java'? rm: remove `Cl= assEnv.java'? rm: remove `CodeAttr.java'? rm: remove `ConstAttr.java'? rm: = remove `DoubleCP.java'? rm: remove `ExceptAttr.java'? rm: remove `FieldCP.j= ava'? rm: remove `FloatCP.java'? rm: remove `GenericAttr.java'? rm: remove = `IincInsn.java'? rm: remove `Insn.java'? rm: remove `InsnOperand.java'? rm:= remove `IntegerCP.java'? rm: remove `InterfaceCP.java'? rm: remove `Invoke= interfaceInsn.java'? rm: remove `Label.java'? rm: remove `LineTableAttr.jav= a'? rm: remove `LocalVarEntry.java'? rm: remove `LocalVarTableAttr.java'? r= m: remove `LongCP.java'? rm: remove `LookupswitchInsn.java'? rm: remove `Me= thod.java'? rm: remove `MethodCP.java'? rm: remove `MultiarrayInsn.java'? r= m: remove `NameTypeCP.java'? rm: remove `SourceAttr.java'? rm: remove `Stri= ngCP.java'? rm: remove `TableswitchInsn.java'? rm: remove `Vretriever:~/tmp= /biss/lib/jas% =20 The same kind of problem happens when I try '< some_file' , if the file exceeds the terminal length 'more' dosen't display and I get only the first page of the file before being bounced back to the prompt.
