Screen Incident



OK, I was managing my system through `dselect' and automagically it unselected everything and yadda yadda yadda, it started erasing files when I updated things. It took me a few seconds to realize that it was deleting things, so here I am today, system back up for the most part by hacking through dpkg.

The problem is, when I try to use `dselect' (this is why I used dpkg to fix things up) or `vi' for that matter, the screen skrews up. i.e. in dselect I cannot move up and down; it just prints "B" "A" "C" "D" at the top of the screen and beeps. Same with vi. The status bar is at the top and I can't do anything such as scrolling. I thought it might have something to do with kbd, but I don't think so anymore. Any suggestions on how I can solve this?
