Version: version 1.2.3 (using KDE 3.1.4) (using KDE KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: Debian stable Packages Compiler: gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease) all is debian 3.0 (apt-get upgrade'd 2 the latest) OS: Linux well, it's simple : on oracle, after a 'set line 3000' just do a select of a large table (select * from v$session;). The return will be unreadable data : the long lines are continued on the following line. Imagine a table with 50 columns of VARCHAR2(50), you just cannot make a select *. There should be a sort of 'buffer', which stores horizontal data. I use everyday 'cmd' from windows and, besides its poor terminal emulation, it's the only terminal around which I know has this 'buffer' feature. You just do a select of this sort and use the horizontal bar to pan through the 'buffered data', it works nice (sometimes it gots the CPU at 100 because it moves the focus of the terminal window while drawing on it - as a typewriter - but this is another thing... ;o) Would you think this is possible? (please, please... ;o) A combination of the excelent features of Konsole with this could be my salvation for my everyday application support + DBA mojo @work... Kind regards & thx in advance.

I forgot to say : on local sqlplus, the data exceeding the current line is sent to the following one. On remote (telnet through mixed systems : VAX, UNIX, Linux) connections, lines are cut. thx, Pedro
