An odd subject line I admit! Okay, using redhat 7.0 and KDE, I start up a
shell/terminal (kconsole). Unzip and untar a package and run the configure
program. No problem I'm sure most of us have done that :-) However, I want
to 'search' the output displayed in kconsole from the configure program to
try and find something (a word). I'm sure someone said it could be done
from a long time ago, but I have no idea how. Anyone any ideas?

Okay, I remembered where I had heard/seen this. Marc Flamank in the Uni used
a Sun system with Openwindows and used the 'find' key on a sun keyboard. It
wasn't something I had bothered too much with before becuae Itended to use
CDE, so I was surprised to see it search the screen output. He tells me that
it doesn't seem to work under CDE, and I informed him that Solaris 9 has
dropped openwindows I gather. He wasn't too impressed :-)

I'll have a bit more of a look to see if this screen searching can be done
(under KDE2).
