Hello all--

I wrote a small program (many thanks to the author of the urlget
module).  I run it from the command line with the following command:

	  erl -s htmlhammer start # # URL -s erlang halt

This seems to work okay except for one minor annoyance--every time erl
"halts", the pseudo-terminal get "hosed up" and I need to do a reset or
stty sane to fix it.

It's not critical, but I was wondering if there was anyway around this
problem.  The only other thing I've ever seen do this (_very_
periodically) is a botched xemacs startup when using the -nw option.

Another minor question:  is there a module performing the common (I
presume) idiom of:

   list_to_integer(atom_to_list('numeric_atom_here')) 
   %%IOW, is there an
