Hi When developing, always run from a terminal, if you straight from an associated double click, your program may do nothing, and you won't know why. You can set associations, just like windows, but I'm not at a linux box at the moment, and I can't remember the exact procedure. What I tend to do, is create a new application on the desktop (right click on the desktop), set all the bits and pieces, and off it goes. I have the option of getting it to run in a terminal from here too. Put TERM=ansi export $TERM in .profile (its in your home directory), and also try TERM=linux (don't know why xterm doesn't work on yours, works fine on mine, but then I use SuSE 9.1, which as everyone knows is far superior to any other distribution out there Note - midnight commander is your friend. mc Chris http://members.aol.com/chriscrylex/euphoria.htm http://uboard.proboards32.com/
