I got numerous requests to forward a version of the revised SUN termcap. Since I am not yet a Unix weenie (or net weenie) I usually get one out of five replies bounced back to me then I decided to forward the replies to the Emacs news group. There were enough requests to warrant it. Well, here is one (I got several) but they were basically the same - note the AL,DL,IC and DC entries - these (I am told) are critical. I am profoundly disturbed that the AL,DL,IC and DC are fields not mentioned in the on line manual (termcap(5)). I have learned to cope with and in a perverse way to appreciate Unix but I have a hard time accepting poor documentation. At any rate to the wizards, mavens, gurus and weenies who send me the termcap (and the explanation - you know who you are many thanks) To my fellow grasshoppers who, like me, labor in ignorance here it is and good luck ____________________________________________________________________ Mu|sun|Sun Microsystems Workstation:\ :bs:ta:am:km:mi:ms:pt:\ :li#34:co#80:\ :bl=^G:vb=\E[q\200\200\200\200\200\200\200\200\200\200\E[p:\ :cl=50\f\E[J:cd=50\E[J:\ :up=\E[A:do=\E[B:nd=\E[C:\ :kd=\E[B:kl=\E[D:ku=\E[A:kr=\E[C:kh=\E[H:\ :cm=\E[%i%d;%dH:ho=\E[H:\ :ce=\E[K:al=\E[L:dl=\E[M:\ :AL=\E[%dL:DL=\E[%dM:\ :ic=\E[@:dc=\E[P:\ :IC=\E[%d@:DC=\E[%dP:\ :so=\E[7m:se=\E[0m:\ :ul=\E[7m:ue=\E[0m:\ :is=\E[s:\ :rs=\E[s\f: The AL and DL entries add and delete multiple lines. IC and DC work similarly for characters.
