It changes the tty line discipline and stderr just happens to be directed to that tty. Normally the tty has the ONLCR bit set when humans operate with it which means: translate each incoming newline into a carriage-return- newline sequence. NCurses turns this bit off. Try "stty -onlcr" in a terminal to see the result. > And what do you mean by "redirect the standard error of a program which > is run in a terminal emulator back to the console window in the IDE"? > This is what is already done for all debugged programs! > AFAICS, when I have the "Use a terminal emulator" setting checked in the project options, writing to stderr results in output to the controlling terminal (xterm in my case), not to the IDE console. I have a screenshot attached and the project used to generate the display. I hope this makes it clear enough? I'd like to have an option to send the strings from Error and Debug to the IDE console, not to the terminal emulator. Regards, Tobi
