[comp.sys.mips] More "standard" xterm terminfo entry

dce@smsc.sony.com (David Elliott) (03/16/90)

In most systems, the xterm termcap is set up such that when you suspend
or quit vi, the window is restored to the state it was in when vi was
last entered.

While this may or may not be desirable to everyone, I'd like to
have some consistency in my work, and I find it useful.  Does
anyone out there have the mods to the RISC/OS terminfo entry for
xterm to do this?

A number of people have replied to me on this subject.  A couple of
people gave me reasonable answers (for which I am thankful).  The
people who told me to use the "titeInhibit" resource in xterm were
wrong, but they showed that there is a bug in the MIPS xterm terminfo
entry.

By default, the ti/te strings, or rmcup/smcup in terminfo, should
cause xterm to switch buffers.  The titeInhibit flag can be set to
true to inhibit this behavior, but there is no flag to force the
behavior.
