[comp.unix.wizards] terminals with cookies

dstrombe@ucqais.uc.edu (Dan Stromberg) (08/16/89)

Hello.

	Has anyone come up with a reasonable way of dealing with terminals
having "the magic cookie glitch" (especially the WYSE-50) in combination with
System V curses (on an NCR tower)?  I noticed an xmc entry in the terminfo
entry, but... it doesn't really appear to be helping anything.

	Please send E-Mail, and I'll summarize if there's interest.

Your program has to check for xmc and make sure it is real careful about
where it uses highlights.
