The control sequence you probably want is Escape-c (^[c) - this resets everything (and as a side effect clears the screen). Ctrl-O probably would have fixed your letters, but escape-c is much more general, and fixes many more problems. I think the HOWTO that covers this is the Console HOWTO. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
