Obsolete - Ignore Applying Occam's Razor, the solution seems to be simple. Let me know if I'm wrong. Having the gnome-terminal Menubar active causes the problem. To deactivate the menubar, simply do these steps:
This deactivates the menubar for all new terminal instances. To reactive it, do these steps:
Always run the CBI with the menubar deactivated. |

I have looked at all of the documentation and posts, but I can't seem to find anything on how to enter EDIT mode. I have come to a place in the CBI where it instructs me to do something in the EDITING WINDOW below but I can't access that window. Also, when writing code, which environment are we to use and how do I access EDIT mode there? Thank you, Nancy Grimes |

I need to know more - where specifically in the CBI? What course, unit, lesson, etc. |

Press enter (forward) and it should drop into the editor - are you saying it doesn't do this? If it does, you are now in an editor that is under cursor control. To get out you press Control Z. |

I'm now having problems with this terminal emulation. I'll try to fix it but it may be beyond my control. These emulators have never been reliable. |

Thank you for your help. I hate to continually ask questions but now that I am in the EDITING WINDOW, CONTROL + Z does not get me out. I performed the steps you listed previously to deactive the MENU Bar but it still isn't working. Suggestions? |

I've been working on it. I've discovered that the gnome-terminal is very unreliable. Some times it works and then all of a sudden it does not let the program control the input control. I've been looking at xterm as a replacement and it seems to work fine. However, in the course of testing I discovered that the Exec command for routines does not work properly on GT.M. Once I fix that, I will release the fixes. Sorry for the delay, but you should just hold off until I get back to you. |
