I use the 'vs' and 've' controls to switch terminal screen pages. That way, I can use vi and still retain the contents of my screen from before i started vi. Unfortunately, while this trick also works with rogue, when I die, the screen draws the grave stone, spits out the 've' (which means, at 9600 baud, I miss seeing how much gold I'd accumulated), says 'Press enter to continue' (or something like that), and then gives me the score ratings. I've gotten used to it, but it's kind of hard to explain to a novice user. It also means that next time I crank up the editor, I see this big grave stone on my screen for a second before vi fills the screen in. robert -- Robert Viduya Office of Computing Services Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta GA 30332 Phone: (404) 894-4669 ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,masscomp,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!robert ...!{rlgvax,sb1,uf-cgrl,unmvax,ut-sally}!gatech!gitpyr!robert
