Hi,
I just posted a question about the taper problem
Here I have a couple more -- that I do not know how
to fix.


1. Installed screen.rpm and latest patch for it  --
   does not work -- when typing screen -- nothing
   happens I have to CTRL z and kill the screen process
   (this program worked on 3.0.3)
   
2. Fvwm95 leaves traces when I move any text window around
   (like command prompt or Xemacs)  - I thought it may be
   the X server problem (XF86_W32) and I downloaded latest
   G version (beta) -- still the problem persists. I wish
   I would know how to just disable move-in-place feature of
   fvwm95.

3.  When created a new user -- and logged in as that user
    the prompt was meaningless (garbage string).
    That problem I got fixed: I went back to user manager
    and made sure that that user has bash shell.

4.  This is just a question: what is TheNextStep thing?
    Is it a window manager (I installed it) but I still get
    fvwm95 window manager? ) Or is it an add on to the window
    manager?


I have a clean install of RH 4.0 with applied latest patches
from the update directory.



Thanks in advance,
Vladislav
