[comp.databases] Ingres/X Forms

dsr@stl.stc.co.uk (D.S.Riches) (01/15/91)

I'm running an Ingres ESQL application under X windows.  The problem I
have is that the xterm does not seem to recognise the clear screen
command used by Ingres.  Normally, under sunview, every time a form is
put on the screen it clears the screen first.  This does not happen
under X, instead it fails to do the clear and just draws the next form
over the previous one.  Even if I do an EXEC FRS CLEAR SCREEN this has
no effect.

Similarly, using rtingres, the screens are merely written on top of
each other ... very confusing reading!

Has anyone solved this problem or know a solution?
