Terminal window has changedHI there!
This could be a very stupid question... Please don't laugh at me!
Usually, when I opened Terminal, a window opened with some text like (I don't remember exactly) ssh#2... or/and You have mail... or/and My web address... etc, etc...
I used to enter sudo su
I was then asked for my password which I entered and then I was able to enter commands.
Now, a window opens with only the cursor and when I enter a command, nothing happens !!!!!
How can I be back to the window I used to work with?
Thanks in advance for your help"
Gerard
PS : I didn't change anything in Terminal Preferences

Thanks mike for replying!
I wasn't doing anything special...
I deleted the preferences file of Terminal and restarted.
Everything is A-Okay by now.
Problem is: Why did it happenned?
Perhaps it will remain a mystery!

well, without knowing what commands were issued.. it probably will! No matter though, sounds like it's fixed!
