Hi.
Is it possible to edit the GNU Screen config (where is it by the way?)?
I belive the file is called .screenrc, but I can't find it. And don't know how to search in
openwrt.
Can I change it so that it uses bash instead of ash?
Because it dosn't recognize the / key.

Are you sure the OpenWRT has BASH installed?
Last time I checked the only available shell was still ASH.
You'll have to find other way around the issue.

I believe you are right. I have ash.
sry, still a n00b.
But screen don't recognize /
ash under openwrt does

The "/" is not an OpenWRT nor ASH issue. I think that your keyboard layout/codepage is just wierd - I can input the "/" just fine  under OpenWRT RC5 or pre-RC5.

I have a Norwegian keybord and have setup Samba so that it recognizes these letter (æøå)
but I can't find a config file for GNU Screen so that I can add / to it.
