Termcap doesn't have a "concept" of anything, so you can always add your own private sequences. For status lines on televideos (for example), just use (assuming you use ZS for start, ZE for end, and ZL for length): :ZS=\Ef:ZE=\r:ZL=78: Or, if you like keeping the cursor position and screen mode: :ZS=\E_00:ZE=\r:ZL=6: Useful enough with shell scripts. Too bad terminfo isn't extensible. -- _--_|\ Peter da Silva <peter@sugar.hackercorp.com>. / \ \_.--._/ I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere! v "Have you hugged your wolf today?" `-_-'
