Trujillo {linus,bbn,m2c}!spdcc!gnosys!gst >Somerville, Massachusetts {icus,ima,stech,wjh12}!gnosys!gst Shift In and Shift Out (SI and SO) switch between slots 0 and 1. The codes are ^N and ^O, but I forget which does what. To switch to the rest of them, you can use an escape sequence of some sort. All this is shown in the table in escape(7) in the SysAdmin's manual. It's also possible to switch them within a program using ioctl() calls, but this doesn't look like what you're looking for, so I won't go into that. -darren ____ / \ | Rt 4, Box 416, Durham, NC 27703 _____|_____ Darren G.
