TIA In Linux Mathematica can be called either in text mode by the command mathematica where Enter alone executes, or it can be called to run in graphics mode by the command Mathematica, where Shift+Enter executes. I have a related question: in text mode, I would like to be able to copy one of my previous inputs and to edit it similarly like most Unix shells can do, by Up arrow or Esc and j and k (like in vi). Is this possible to do in Linux version of Mathematica? Thanks for any help -- Pavel Pokorny Math Dept, Prague Institute of Chemical Technology http://www.vscht.cz/mat/Pavel.Pokorny
