If I accidentally "cat" a binary file, the terminal I'm using
gets "scrambled", i.e., characters on screen are translated,
unreadable. Other virtual terminals aren't affected--Alt-F2,
etc.
Is there any way to "rescue" that terminal? (BTW, "stty sane"
doesn't help...) The only way to restore it seems to be a
reboot.

There are two thing you can try...
echo a ^O to the terminal (type the following:
echo "^V^O"
)
Or a more fool proof way which involves more blind typing is:
echo -e "\033c"

#!/bin/sh
# Print ^E^O
printf "\005\017"

Try typing "reset" on the garbled terminal; try ^L on the garbled terminal.Quote:>If I accidentally "cat" a binary file, the terminal I'm using
