Two weeks ago I posted a message to the ncr mailing list regarding a possible
problem with man entries and ncr 4940 terminals. Unfortunately, about this
time my news link went down and it appears that either this message never got
out, or I never got the replies. (If the latter, can somebody E-mail me them.)
To recap my problem, when I do 'man xx|more' on a 4940 terminal (set up as
per instructions as TERM=4940 and WYSE 50 mode), I get strange looking output.
Some items (those highlighted in reverse video) seem to have an 'extra' space
surrounding the highlighting, which throws some lines off and messes up
the pager. Other entries seem to repeat all or part of fields:
The entry in the sys sys file....
Is this a problem with the termcap entry for a 4940. I do NOT notice
this problem with some other terminals with vt100 capabilities.
