If you have it wrong, e.g., #rows or #cols funny, it can core dump. I can't remember exactly how I got it to do it before, but I know I had that once and found the terminal type and/or termcap weren't "normal". -- Andrew Burt aburt@du.edu "Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say 'Ni' at will to old ladies."
