[comp.emacs] termcaps for gnu

puerta@midway (07/20/88)

1) I am having some problems using gnuemacs in some NCR terminals. The
4970 terminals emulate vt220 but the termcap appears to be wrong
since gnu does not display on the screen but rather writes all data
to the screen.  The problem is local since other terminals attached
to the system work fine with gnu. Does anybody out there have a termcap
for vt220's that appears to work well with gnu?.
I am running system five with AT&T unix. We use terminfo but I can translate
termcaps if necessary.



2) I also have some workstations that highlight everything that you type
into the gnu buffer. I was able to correct this playing with the standout
mode variable in term.c but that messes up things in other terminals. If 
anybody has an idea on how to fix this from the termcap, I would appreciate
it.

Thanks, in advance.
