[comp.emacs] Terminal setup for Emacs on Sun-3 Workstations

peck@SUN.COM.UUCP (02/13/87)

First,  in your (suntools) .defaults file, include the line:
/Tty/Retained	"Yes"
Then the terminal emulator can do text moves using bitblt, instead of repaint.

If that's not enough speed for you then you can also
tell unix/emacs that the sun terminal supports multi-line scrolling.
add this patch to your /etc/termcap file:

If you don't have the program "patch", just add the line:

   And if that's not enough speed for you, then run X instead of suntools.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist!)
