Vince, Thanks for your follow up on this; sorry for lateness...I've not been here for a while. Sorry to have screwed up your system a bit as well. Makes some sense now you mention it that it's tied to the console settings, rather than just the TCC settings only... Basically, I've stopped...

FWIW, the setdos 'workaround' was originally part of an attempt to try to work around the problem. But yes, having it in the ini file makes more sense anyway, so I've returned to that, to no avail I'm afraid. Also, this is what I actually had from the start, basically a simple perl skript that...

Another tidbit: the problem only occurs if I set the prompt in tcstart.btm. If I start with a tcstart.btm that just turns ansi on, and when tcc has started, I manually set the prompt as described, then list works. Weird? Yes :-) Thanks for you help, ken1

For completeness: neither of those suggestions helps. Thanks for your help, ken1

Testing systematically with both lines commented out (otherwise completely empty tcstart.btm), either of them commented out, and none commented out. In all cases, I get 'listcolors=0'. Also reminds me, attaching my tcmd.ini... Thanks for your help, ken1

Hi, I'm using TCC only, and a "ver" shows "TCC 26.02.43 x64 Windows 10 [Version 10.0.19042.1466]". In my tcstart.btm I have the following (whittled down to the simplest, it's normally an execstr thingy): set prompt=$P$e[32;1mFOO$e[0m$g setdos /A1 Basically, show some text in green in...

Excellent - adding 'NormalKey=Ctrl-D' to my TCMD.ini did the trick! Thanks, ken1

Hi, I've been using the alias @@Ctrl-D=exit for a long while now to simply end the shell window by pressing ctrl-d. This worked up to TCC 11, but in 12 it seems not to work...is there a setting I've missed somewhere or has keystroke handling changed? Thanks, ken1
