I have a Televideo Model 970 terminal running on a unix-based VAX11/780. When inserting text, any text following below the cursor, moves across the screen with the cursor. I've gone as far as I know how to go with my termcap and would appreciate a working termcap for a Televideo970 - that is to say, at least the parts of the termcap applicable to emacs. For what it's worth, the same problem occurs with (ahem...) vi...

This sounds like the so-called "edit page" mode, when what you want is "edit line" mode. The TeleVideo terminals I'm familiar with, 950s, have sequences to switch between these modes: ESC N to switch to edit page and ESC O to switch to edit line. While I have no way to tell whether these are what the 970 uses, it may be worth trying: put \EO in the :is=: capability (and remove \EN if present) and see if it helps any. Do you have a manual for it? You might look for "edit page" versus "edit line". der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
