Lines: 20 I have been having an extremely frustrating problem with vi under Eunice. I wonder if anybody else has seen it, and if they know what is going on. Sometimes, a shell escape causes you to go off into never never land. You enter your escape command to vi, and it goes off to open a shell. Then, everything stops. You can ^C or ^Y to your heart's content, but nothing happens. If a ^T is typed, you are told that the vi process is waiting, but no other processes are going. Furthermore, typing ^T a few times shows that nothing is happening with the process--no cpu time is being consumed. I've found the only way to get out of this is to log onto another terminal and kill your login process with VMS' STOP/ID= command. Has anybody else seen this? -- Chip Rosenthal, Intel/Santa Clara {idi|intelca|icalqa|imcgpe|kremvax|qubix|ucscc}!t4test!{chip|news}
