OS: XENIX System V.2 Application: terminfo Terminal: UNISYS uvt1224 Problem: I have an application which has a window which borders the the last column on the screen. When a character is printed in the last column of the screen, the text in the line which follows is displayed 1 character to the left. Text should appear as follows: +---------------------------------------------------------+ | this is the first line| | this is the second | | | . . . . . . but the text appears as follows: +---------------------------------------------------------+ | this is the first line| | this is the second | | | . . . . . . The above example is displayed using the following algorithm: move to x,y in window put "this is the first line" move to x,y+1 in window put "this is the second" refresh windown. I have tried initializing the terminfo entry for the specified terminal to indicate that the terminal does not support "automatic margins" (am is false), but that did not seem to help. I'm not sure if this is a terminfo problem or a problem with my terminal description. Does anyone have any answers? Thanks; Guy. lamoureu@crc2.sofkin.ca (Guy Lamoureux)
