It's not as hard to imagine for those of us using xterm-xf86-v32|xterm terminal emulator (X Window System):\ which doesn't use "tc=". IIRC, I read in some XFree86 document that that one should be used, but I might have just noticed it there and thought it sounded better than "xterm" (with tc=vt220). But then all of these can cause problems when people expect you to be using "cons25" like when I was complaining about a problem with "groff -mandoc -Tascii /tmp/ipfw.8 | less" as suggested by the mdoc man page. I got the impression that FreeBSD is "designed for cons25". To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
