[comp.unix.aux] Problems with ksh when login with the console emulator under A/UX 2.0.

lamarche@ireq.hydro.qc.ca (07/25/90)

When I login with the console emulator the ESC K feature of the Korn shell for
recalling previous commands does not work. Am I the only one to have this 
problem? 

Also if I execute the tset command under the console emulator the screen
forgets
the two last lines. Why?

Finally the file /etc/termcap and /usr/lib/terminfo specifies li=35 for mac2.
Since the console emulator provides 37 lines why is it set like this?

Simple -- under A/UX 1.0, the usable console screen was two lines smaller
because of the fake menu bar.

The workaround is pretty easy -- why use the console for screen-oriented
stuff if the MacOS-style programs are so much better? ;-) ;-)
