Just installed SE and I-SQL on redhat 5.1 Linux Installed ok. set up simple test database w/ 1 table. autocreated form. when I run the form, and add a record, the first record works ok (ie. i enter data, hit esc and it responds row added. the next add i add the data and hit esc and nothing happens. also the interrupt (delete) key does not discard the row. once I hit esc or interrupt and nothing happens, I'm stuck until I hit ctrl-z and then kill isql process. vi works fine with the termcap (as a test suggested in informixes docs). it does seem to be related to the keyboard not returning the signal expected by i-sql. I tried changing the TERM to what is on my old machine running 4.0 isql but to no avail. Thanks for any help, Paul
