 	Please see both of the attachments .  One is a patch to Rancid's hlogin 
command that will appease the 'Press any key' gods ,  Tho Mr. john heasley has a 
better approach that would basically do the same thing .  The second is a method 
to get a ProCurve (of the version specified) back from Menu Mode .  Tho it does 
not look like you need that help .

	Hello All ,

		As 'manager' account goto menu mode .
		Goto 'Run Setup'
		Press <Enter>
		Goto 'Edit' ,  Press <Enter>
		Goto  'Logon Default : ' Field ,
		Hit 'Space bar' ,	<<< this toggles between modes >>>
		Press <Enter>
		Goto 'Save' ,  Press <Enter>
		Should take you back to the 'main menu' .

	After that it's all upto you .

	For this device & firmware version 'hlogin' is the program to use .

	Setup a 'manager' user & then add something like ... To .cloginrc .

add autoenable          *-sw*   {1}
add user                *-sw*   {ManagerUser}
add password            *-sw*   {ManagerPassword}   {nosuchpassword}
add method              *-sw*   ssh telnet

		Hth ,  JimL

ps:	DISREGARD any previous patches to flogin as that was a BAD start .
