I will get this error message: tput: unknown % escape `!' for capability `is' if I write my own program to just dump the is entry out it works great... should I add a "debug" flag to tput that will enable the extended error checking? should I remove the error checking all together? thanks for you input... ttyl... -- John-Mark Modem/FAX: (541) 683-6954 (FreeBSD Box) Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD (unix)
