Hi,When I type freesurfer in my terminal, a new shell opens up (with full keyboard functionality), in which I type tksurfer (with its parameters) or tkmedit (with its parameters). When I enter tksurfer or tkmedit, a new shell opens WITHIN the existing shell (along with the GUI interface). I can only use the alphanumeric keys on my keyboard whenever this new shell (for tksurfer or tkmedit) opens within the existing freesurfer shell. This is particularly irksome because the backspace key does not function (and I am forced to cntrl-c to kill the entire session). Are there any solutions for this? Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ PC Magazine’s 2007 editors’ choice for best web mail—award-winning Windows Live Hotmail. http://imagine-windowslive.com/hotmail/?locale=en-us&ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migr...
you can usually use ctl-h for backspace (still annoying)

That's a Tcl shell that you can use to issue commands to tkmedit or tksurfer. If you don't need to do that, you can pretty much ignore it. It just means you can't launch the app with & to put it in the background.
