Yes. Any idea what might be causing it?

Good question. I don't really have a clue at this point. Can you give me
one? :)

I commented out NAMER again; no apparent effect.

If I run /vsta/etc/rc myself (as root), there are no problems, but for some
reason init can't run it.
Could it be a permissions problem? Does init run as root? (or system?)

And back to my original keyboard escape sequence question...
I tried the stat -w -- <can't remember the field... xkeys?> with no luck.
(The posts on this news server sure age out of existence fast!)
How do I find out what field names are available? stat -- doesn't work. nor
does stat //cons
stat //CONS gives:
//CONS: io err

Thanks for any help.
