Let's see here...

Aha! Let's compare that termcap entry to the FreeBSD standard
one...FreeBSD sez:
xterm|vs100|xterm terminal emulator (X window system):\
:li#65:\
:hs:ts=\E[?E\E[?%i%dT:fs=\E[?F:es:ds=\E[?E:\
:is=\E>\E[?1;3;4;5l\E[?7;8h\E[1;65r\E[65;1H:\
:rs=\E>\E[?1;3;4;5l\E[?7;8h:\
:tc=vt220:
and tracing back through vt220 to vt102 to vt100-np to vt100-am I don't
see any ti/te specified. Looking through the one I've got (which I copied
from some other system a while back) - I DO have ti/te entries on my
'xterm' entry:

I removed the ti/te caps from my 'xterm' entry.

Do you say that because you've looked at the source code (I don't have
mine handy right now)? Or just that you haven't observed the effects? In
other words, could the lack of ti/te caps in the distributed /etc/termcap
explain everything?
Which brings me back to my original observation that there ought to be an
option to do one of the following:
1) Completely disable ti/te cap usage from more.
2) Unconditionally force a prompt at EOF.
I suppose I should just do a 'send-pr', huh?

[he he] Ah, but you have been. I just need to use less more. :-)
