i just have 2 quick questions.

1) when i run pcomm, i connect, but i find that things don't get written to the
screen until i hit return. for instance, the prompt does not appear, but i can
type in a command. when i hit return, the prompt and command appear, and the
command is executed. please help!

2) when i login as anyone but root (user for example) i get errors like "getwd:
cannot access parent directories" two or three times when i execute a command.
could someone explain what is going on?

thanx,
jeff newbern
