[comp.emacs] JOVE and ansi/sun/amiga termcap

jal@wsu-cs.uucp (Jason Leigh) (02/18/89)

I am having a problem with JOVE and the ansi/sun/amiga termcap;
this problem does not appear in gnuemacs.

The problem is:
JOVE seems to forget to insert a carriage return after certain very
short lines but instead sends the cursor to the far edge of the screen.

For e.g. The following text:

# This is a test
#
# I think...

would appear in JOVE as:
# This is a test 							#
# I think

Even typing the above sequence causes this.  Another problem which I
imagine is because of this is that when I move to the middle of a line
and then down to the next line, my cursor automatically jumps to the
start of the next line however when I type ctrl-F the cursor reveals
that JOVE thinks I am in the middle of this line (which is correct), so
I suspect termcap problems.

This problem does not exist when I use my vt100 emulator.

The following is the termcap I use:

set noglob;
setenv TERM amiga ;
setenv TERMCAP 'AA|amiga:co#80:li#24:am:do=\E[B:ce=\E[K:cd=\E[J:cl=\E[H\E[J:ku=\E[A:kd=\E[B:kl=\E[C:kr=\E[D:kb=^H:al=\E[L:dl=\E[M:le=^H:cm=\E[%i%d;%dH:nd=\E[C:up=\E[A:ho=\E[H:dc=\E[P:ic=\E[@:so=\E[2m:se=\E[m:us=\E[4m:ue=\E[m:mr=\E[7m:mb=\E[7;2m:me=\E[m:';
unset noglob;


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
