hello!

i installed the package 'wpe/xwpe' on my FreeBSD system (2.2.2-RELEASE) 
and didn't like the way 'wpe' displayed the dialog boxes (it seems to be
broken). on a terminal 'linux' -- on a linux box -- (as opposed to
'cons25'), 'wpe' displays just fine.

i copied the definition of the 'linux' terminal to /etc/termcap of the
FreeBSD box but when i used it, some applications (i.e. pico, pine) didn't
display properly.

what could be the solution or has anyone experienced this?

thanks!
