No. I will not waive. This is not Microsoft here.

Edit /usr/share/misc/termcap. Change the following entry:

  xterm|xterm-color|X11 terminal emulator:\
          :ti=\E[?47h:te=\E[?47l:tc=xterm-xfree86:

Don't forget to execute "cap_mkdb termcap".

No need to get over with a poor workaround.

Bertram
