[fa.info-vax] CCA Emacs and DEC VT131 terminals

I have a VT131 and am trying to use CCA Emacs.  The VT131 is a nice
terminal, but it seems to require alot of padding.  A LOT OF PADDING.

CCA-EMACS uses the terminfo system, of which I know nothing.  I would
not mind updating the terminfo for our VT131 (uses the VT132 (uses the
VT100)) but can someone give me a reference to look at which explains
the syntax of the terminfo file and how to recreate the appropriate
terminal file?

Better yet, does someone have a working VT131 terminfo entry?

Thanks,

Jerry Bakin <Bakin@HI-Multics>

P.S. I have tried enabling flow control and disabling flow control.  I
have tried setting ^S ^Q to ^R Null Command and leaving them as search
and quote string.  None of seems to help all the time.  This leads me to
believe I should fix the terminfo entry.  What should I be doing?
