- Well, as a user of the VAX, the same things happen here, too. So I dug up
- the old RESET.COM file and peeked.
-
- To fix your problem, create /bin/reset with this line:
-
- echo "^O^[)B^[(B^[[0;24r^[[0m^[[2H"
-
- note that control chars are prefixed with '^', i.e. ESC = '^['
-
- then chmod +x /bin/reset, and whenever you get that funky graphics, just
-
- # reset
-
- and all will be happy!
