RE: help: typing 's' on keyboard beeps

[Steve Goncalo]

No solution, but some questions...

What kind of platform are you on?
What version of gcc do you have?
Are you comparing a precompiled 2.0.16
to a 2.1.3x that you built yourself?

If you create a script file "SCRIPT.m", can you use
lowercase s in it (e.g. sin(0) )? If so, I would suspect
your yacc/lex parser is OK and the problem is somewhere in
the line editing functions (readline). I have not looked,
but I suspect there is an option to "configure" which would
disable the line editing functions.

Can you try running the same binary from a different user name
just to see if there might be something in your environment setup
that is causing trouble?

Subject: help: typing 's' on keyboard beeps


Using octave 2.1.33 or 2.1.34 I am unable to type the lowercase letter 's'
into octave's command window!
Whenever I hit the 's' key on the keyboard octave beeps, but otherwise
ignores
the key code. As you would guess, this is quit annoying :-(

Uppercase 'S' (shift-key + 's') works fine!

octave 2.0.16 works fine.

Anybody has any clues about what might be happening?
Is this a known feature/bug? By the way I failed finding any list of known
bugs
for version 2.1.33/34; is there one?

Any hints/help are much appreciated.
Thanks, Berni.
