Hi list, I'm constantly opening binary files using cat from the command line by mistake, then after quitting out the console displays all text in weird symbols. Is there anyway to reset the console when this happens? Thanks, Jen.
There is a command -- "reset" -- which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't in these circumstamces.
If it doesn't work, the only cure I've found (in an xterm) is to kill it and open a new one.
In the console, which is "opened" on boot, I'm not sure that there is a cure if "reset" doesn't work!
Good luck, Ted.
