- (This could be solved when I actually pull some stuff off the .97 root
- disk as opposed to just using .97pl1+, but I would doubt it...)
-
- When using bash, theoretically pressing \ before an ESC should give
- you an escape character. This is tremendously useful for things like
- the echo sequence that will change the title bar of an xterm.
- Unfortunately, I haven't been able to enter an ESCape without the
- shell interpreting it. Does anyone have an easy solution, or is this
- a bash recompilation-type of thing?
-
- Thanks!
