Hey I'm in the middle of writing shell as a part of Rubyunix, I am using HighLine::SystemExtensions to get each character (so that I may check to see if it is a reserved keystroke). Basically, here's my error: http://pastie.caboo.se/132010 I absolutely cannot figure this out. In all of the other times that I've used this piece of code and tested it out, it has never done this to me before. To clarify what is happening, it is thorwing the 'stty: stdin isn't a terminal' AFTER it processes the command and is redisplaying the prompt. If there's anything else you need me to disclose, please tell me. Thanks, -------------------------------------------------------| ~ Ari seydar: it's like a crazy love triangle of Kernel commands and C code
