I've been doing some more investigating into this termcap business... man are there a TON of inconsistancies... o) first of all terminfo_extensions.doc don't list every thing that termcap(5) does o) termcap(5) says that `is' is sent the first time you login, this is actually incorrect... `is' is only sent when tset is called as reset. o) when tset is called as reset it doesn't even do what the man page (termcap(5)) says will do when resetting the terminal I'm reluctant to touch tset as it may adversely effect how tset normally operates... but does anybody have problems with me fixing tset to match the man page? or should I fix the man page to match the program? yikes... I just looked at our skel files and there is no example of tset included in these files... is there a good reason why not? thanks for your comments on the subject... -- John-Mark Cu Networking Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
