Back in March, I sent a patch to Paul Placeway that would set the sl and el variable properly. There was a mistake in the source; tcsh was looking up termcap capabilities named sl and el, instead of ts and fs. Oops... The fix is included below. This was made from tcsh 5.18 (BBN) 2/20/90 pl 0.

So if you apply this fix, also make sure that the strings don't get globbed... christos -- /------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Christos Zoulas | 409 Phillips Hall, Electrical Engineering, | | christos@ee.cornell.edu | Cornell University, Ithaca NY 14853. | | christos@crnlee | Phone: (607) 255 4323 | Fax: (607) 254 4565 |
