It's probably more or less the same, maybe. I'm not very sure, really. In console_codes(4), esc c is described as "reset". The reset(1) man page says that if your terminal is corrupt, you may have to type: ctrl-j reset ctrl-j because even return may noy be working properly. Don't bet your house on anything I say. Or at least don't blame me when you lose it. Cheers, Joost
