> If you're using the latest woody eterm (or any 0.9.0-series eterm package),
The problem was that I had eterm-0.8.7 ; installing 0.9.0 fixed the problem (my ncurses-base etc. were up to date). Thanks, Dave. I normally apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade once a week. but a dependency conflict always prevented eterm from being upgraded; somewhy, I just ignored it. My bad :) Aaron
