I recently was gifted a PC7300 and a 3B1 with all the manuals and some >software. In the Unix terminal I've run into a behavior that I don't >understand. This happens to me on both machines. When I type the @
symbol it prints the @ and also moves down to the next line.
In vi I can type ! and # but for some reason when I try to type @ the
cursor jumps to the far left and erases everything in its way.
I connected from a laptop over the RS232 serial connection and I see the
same behavior. I looked in my env but don't see anything obviously
affecting the @ symbol.
Does anyone here know why this is happening and how to turn it off? It
keeps corrupting any ascii transfers I do across the serial connection
that have an @ in them.
Thanks,
Jonathan
TryYes, that did work, like a charm. Thank you Aharon.
stty kill '^U'
to change the 'line kill' character. The old, old, old, very old
default for that used to be the @ sign.
I'm pretty sure that'll work, in which case you'll want to add
it to your .profile file so that it'll be set every time you login.
