Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club! Hi Greg M., Yes, I used to get caught like that often when I used telnet all thew time. There is an Alt-F? combination that is listed in one of the help screens that it says to only use if stuck. I think it's Alt-F3 but it's been a while since I used it so I could be wrong.
