This problem is not unique to Xenix, but is common across lots of platforms. Theres a new shell variable in later versions of Informix you can use to help overcome this problem.

When it's set to 60 you have to press <Escape> twice to get it to perform <Escape> things. -- ============================================================================ Sally Woolrich | This mail contains my personal sally@excelsis.demon.co.uk | views not those of my employer! ============================================================================
