Hey folks,

I once again ended up trying to make henplus work on my laptop but I got the same problem again. After installation (through dist. Ubunutu 11.04) I provided the JDBC driver in home config and types `henplus` in a shell. I get the wellcome prompt

```
using GNU readline (Brian Fox, Chet Ramey), Java wrapper by Bernhard Bablok
henplus config at /home/jan/.henplus

-U,--username Username to connect with
```
I tried to provide URL, user and password using parameters. They are recognised correctly but after all I directly be back in the shell. No prompt `Hen*Plus` like in the docs ever shown up. As far as I know this is a more or less known issue running a __64bit__ system. I run:
```
$uname -a

```
Any questions or suggestions ?
