Singular

Hi,

I am running 2.0.4, downloaded from the Singular home page,
on Mac OS X (10.2.5 now). The default help browser is 'mac',
which goes to the default web browser to display the help files.

If I change the browser:
system("--browser", "info");
and then type
help;
I get the 'info' window in the same terminal as Singular (expected), but all my typing is read by Singular; for example, 'n' just gets echoed at the point where the cursor is. If I then type ';<CR>', I get a Singular error message about 'n' being undefined.

Checking with 'ps', with 2.0.3, I see teTeX's copy of 'info' running after I type 'help;'. With 2.0.4, there is no 'info' running.

Help?

Regards,

Justin

There is an error in the help configuration file:
search for a file help.cnf in the Singular LIB directory
and change the line
info!xiE:info:!info -f %i --node='%n' &
to
info!xiE:info:!info -f %i --node='%n'
(i.e. remove the & at the end).
