Has anyone had problems similar to the following after compiling grass 4.0
for silicon graphics iris (4d) workstations running under NeWS?
1) The grass driver program automatically calls g.help .
2) g.help misbehaves. It will only accept <line-feed> to move the selection
down instead of <return>. After exit it leaves an empty window which
ignores all keyboard input except a control-C. All control-C does is
display a shell prompt and doesn't break out of the loop. A we have
tried implementing a suggestion to move the Get_old_tty() call in menu.c
and this worked for a while but now after a full recompilation of grass
the problem has come back again. I have tried using the original menu.c
and it didn't change anything.
Can anyone explain how the main driver shell GIS.sh works, I want
to try and understand why it is automatically calling g.help.
Alan.
