I am the de facto maintainer of gnu emacs on a Sun workstations (ie if I want it, I have to make it happen). I am NOT by any stretch ot the imagination a unix weenie(I am getting better ;}). Here is the problem. When it becomes time to scroll the scrolling takes about half an hour - the mode line slowly slides up the screen (whether or not I am in Suntools) and the window slowly refills - if I still smoked I could have a butt while I waited. Is there some incantation I could use (the problem does not exist if I login on a vt100(220 etc) only on the console) to fix this. Bear in mind with your replies that I am but a grasshopper. Esoteric Unixisms are only slightly more intelligible to me than runes. Jerry Freedman, Jr "Thank you, folks, jfjr@mitre-bedford.arpa for those kind applause" (617)271-4563

In particular, it has a patch for the sun termcap entry to enable multi-line inserts and deletes. If you can't find it, just add this line to your termcap entry for sun: :AL=\E[%dL:DL=\E[%dM:IC=\E[%d@:DC=\E[%dP:\ There's a lot of other good stuff described here as well, such as enabling mouse support, using server mode, etc. -- Jim Patterson Cognos Incorporated UUCP:decvax!utzoo!dciem!nrcaer!cognos!jimp P.O.
