The following is a termcap entry that does does a little better than the standard h19 entry for Kermit's h19 emulation. Differences from standard include: No non-destructive tab. No enter/exit visual mode strings (the mysterious "y4" when you exit anything that uses curses). No autowrap. Unfortunately, the only reliable way to tell termcap that there's no non-destructive tab is to assert that there are no hardware tabs at all. To use this setting, save it in a file, say "~/.termcap". If you use csh, somewhere in your .cshrc or .login you should say: set term = kermit setenv TERMCAP ~/.termcap If you use sh, you should have the following in your .profile: TERM=kermit TERMCAP=$HOME/.termcap export TERMCAP --- cut here --- h19-k|kermit|kermit h19 emulator:\ :ae=\EG:al=1*\EL:as=\EF:bl=^G:\ :bs:cd=\EJ:ce=\EK:cl=\EE:\ :cm=\EY%+\040%+\040:co#80:cr=^M:dc=\EN:\ :dl=1*\EM:do=\EB:ds=\Ey1:ei=\EO:\ :es:fs=\Ek\Ey5:ho=\EH:hs:\ :im=\E@:k1=\ES:k2=\ET:k3=\EU:\ :k4=\EV:k5=\EW:k6=\EP:k7=\EQ:\ :k8=\ER:kb=^h:kd=\EB:kh=\EH:\ :kl=\ED:kn#8:kr=\EC:ku=\EA:\ :l6=blue:l7=red:l8=white:le=^H:\ :li#24:mi:ms:nd=\EC:\ :nl=^J:se=\Eq:so=\Ep:sr=\EI:\ :ta=^I:ts=\Ej\Ex5\Ex1\EY8%+\040\Eo:up=\EA:xt: -- Scott Deerwester Graduate Library School University of Chicago ...!ihnp4!gargoyle!scott UUCP scott@UChicago.CSNet CSNet scott@UChicago.ARPA ARPA

From: Scott Deerwester <scott@UChicago.ARPA> The following is a termcap entry that does a little better than the standard h19 entry for Kermit's h19 emulation. Differences from standard include: No non-destructive tab. No enter/exit visual mode strings (the mysterious "y4" when you exit anything that uses curses). No autowrap. If you really need these changes, you have an old version of MS-Kermit. Destructive tab and no autowrap were fixed at least by version 2.27. The current version (2.28) includes a command (suitable for the MS-Kermit configuration file) which sets the default state for autowrap. Version 2.28 also honors Esc-y-4 and Esc-x-4 to change the cursor between block and underscore. Even in version 2.27, one could control autowrap. Though 2.27 didn't have the command to set the default state, it did respond to Esc-v and Esc-w to set and clear autowrap. All that was required was to change "is" to include "\Ev". Code has also been sent to Columbia which will permit MS-Kermit to honor the commands to permit Berkeley UNIX to manipulate the 25th line, but it hasn't yet been included in a release.
