Are the escape sequences (I ASSUME they're escape sequences--since I know nothing about this sort of fancy art-work, I shall expose my newbie-ness) used to run the animation terminal specific? Or, perhaps, does your system have to be running some sort of MIME-decoding software? I know that on some systems, the `finger' command doesn't work. I don't know enough about Unix to tell you why, but my guess is that there are some system-specific problems here. ------------------------->Karl Everitt<----------------------------------- kev...@gac.edu<--------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------>One of the artless masses -- Karl Everitt kev...@gac.edu
