[NTLUG:Discuss] terminal keystrokes

[jm]

Hi all,

I'm using Mandrake 8.2, Gnome 1.4 and KDE 3.0.  No matter which terminal
I use - gnome-terminal, konsole or eterm - I have the following problem:

Any time I want to up-arrow to a prior command, the terminal beeps and
refuses to scroll back until I press the left-arrow, then I can scroll
back through the command history.  If I step back into the existing
command then try to right-arrow back to the end, everything gets
converted to uppercase.

This happens in Gnome and KDE.  Anyone have any idea what got screwed up
in this release, and how/where/what I need to change to get "normal"
behavior back?

Thanks,
Joe
