[net.unix-wizards] TERMCAP PROBLEM

ejs@whuxlb.UUCP (06/17/83)

Recently I hacked together the following termcap for Visual
Technology's Visual 50 terminal. It's a slight modification of
the vt52 termcap.

v5|vi50|visual 50:\
	:al=\EL:am:\
	:bl=^G:bs:\
	:cd=\EJ:ce=\EK:cl=\EH\EJ:cm=\EY%+ %+ :co#80:cr=^M:\
	:da:db:dl=\EM:do=^J:\
	:kb=^H:kd=\EB:kl=\ED:kr=\EC:ku=\EA:\
	:le=^H:li#24:\
	:nd=\EC:nl=^J:\
	:pt:\
	:se=\ET:so=\EU:sr=\EI:\
	:ta=^I:\
	:up=\EA:us=\ES:ue=\EW:

It's intended to run when the Visual 50 is in vt52 emulation mode
(I know what you're thinking; if it's emulating a vt52, then why
another termcap? Well, it turns out that the Visual 50 can handle
dl and db among other things, which the vt52 can't)

The termcap works OK for the most part. The only problem is on
character inserts. The whole line gets painfully redrawn for each
character typed. Any suggestions?
