Armed with this suggestion I did the following (for anyone else who has the same problem): 1. pulled terminfo.src from the ncurses website. 2. Used tic to compile a new cygwin entry: 2a. mkdir ~/.terminfo 2b. tic -e cygwin -o ~/.terminfo terminfo.src 3. Became happy. Thanks, Rick! Actually, not so hard, either, in case you want to use cygwin instead of vt320 :-) R -- _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
