I discovered that the ansi terminfo that came with an earlier version solved the above problem. I prowled around in the terminfo and found that deleting the "rep=...," capability from the ansi-24 terminfo apparently corrected the problem. The ansi emulation doesn't handle this correctly. The above refers to Version 2.3.1 (beta). I don't have 2.4 yet so I can't add anything to that discussion. If you want to try removing the rep capability from the ansi terminfo, do the following: untic ansi >ansi.save cp ansi.save ansi.new delete the "rep=%p1%c\E[%p2%{1}%-%db, " string from ansi.new tic ansi.new You will probably need to have root privileges to do this. Hope this helps. > > regards trevor -- Bob Thrush UUCP: {rtmvax,ucf-cs}!tarpit!rd Automation Intelligence, 1200 W. Colonial Drive, Orlando, Florida 32804
