Hello, I've just gotten the PDterm program running, and while trying to construct a termcap, I've run into a problem with moving the cursor down. It seems that sometimes, the cursor goes to the beginning of the next line (col 1) when in vi. Vi, of course, thinks its in the same column as before, and when I move the cursor to the right, it prints the characters it thinks it should print. Also, when vi starts, any display lines in the window not occupied by a line in the file is filled with the "~". Fine. But when I start vi with mine, I get one tilde below the last line, as expected, but then the rest of the tildes are printed at the last column of the line. The same thing happens to some lines in the text as well - the first character of the line appears on the last column of the previous line! If anyone has solutions to these problems, I would appreciate any help anyone can give. Maybe someone has a working termcap? mine almost works, it has inverse, underscore, etc., but the blasted down cursor is driving me nuts! Thanks in advance. --Ray Tripamer University of Nevada, Las Vegas !seismo!unrvax!unlv!ray
