[comp.sys.hp] termcap/terminfo entry for 98785A monitor

wunder@hp-sde.SDE.HP.COM (Walter Underwood) (08/27/88)

If you are using the video card with the builtin terminal emulator (no
windows), you might have the wrong number of lines.  Some video cards 
are 47 lines, some are 48.  The wrong number of lines really confuses
editors.

Try the termtype "300h". Do NOT use the termtypes "hp*", because curses
thinks they are 80x24. Setting the environment variables LINES and COLUMNS
may help, but who remembers how many there are ?
