========================================================================== Hi Joost ,
Thank you and the others for your expertise and your time. Joost Kooij wrote: >Hmm, ae, yes.. well, ae seems not to work very well in xterm. If you want >an easy editor, try joe. Or learn vi. You're advised to learn ed and ex >too if you want to be a vi power-user. I just noticed that page-up and page-down do not work with "most " when i´m in xterm. Strangely enough, the arrow keys (those that do not work with "ae") work here. Maybe i should just forget about xterm altogether and use a VC ?! Joost Kooij wrote: >Try running gpmconfig as root.

If you still have a hard time, spell out the gpm and gpm.conf >manpages and try again. I did that ( run gpmconfig) and now i know how i came about to have entries like "device=help" in my /etc/gpm.conf: During installation gpmconfig was started and i entered "help" when i did not know what to enter.
