You can probably frob the termcap database to remove these (best to create a new entry called vt100-fast). Read the termcap(5) manpage and look for the discussion on padding. Note that the stock vt100 termcap entry's padding _is_ required for correct operation of a vt200 terminal. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
