The remaining question is, why doesn't it work with > "rxvt-unicode", which is also in the termcap file? well... rxvt-unicode-256color was the effect of the checkins for termcap.src for conf/152713 and conf/153164 The earlier one suggests that the naming came from rxvt-unicode's sources. Checking that, it seems that the rxvt-unicode entry specifies 88 colors, while the rxvt-unicode-256color entry (close to rxvt-256color) does 256. However, the rxvt-unicode entry in FreeBSD was added for conf/117323, which equated it to rxvt-mono (no color), with some changes for function-ke= ys. On the other hand, the rxvt entry uses color, which was overlooked in conf/117323: # Termcap entry for rxvt-unicode, taken from http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-uni= code/doc/rxvt.7.html#I_need_a_termcap_file_entry rxvt-unicode|rxvt-unicode terminal (X Window System):\ :SF=3D\E[%dS:SR=3D\E[%dT:bw:ec=3D\E[%dX:kb=3D\177:kd=3D\EOB:ke=3D\E[?1l\E>= :\ :kl=3D\EOD:kr=3D\EOC:ks=3D\E[?1h\E=3D:ku=3D\EOA:lm#0:te=3D\E[r\E[?1049l:\ :ti=3D\E[?1049h:tc=3Drxvt-mono: rxvt|rxvt terminal emulator (X Window System):\ :pa#64:Co#8:AF=3D\E[3%dm:AB=3D\E[4%dm:op=3D\E[39;49m:tc=3Drxvt-mono: Following the clue from the comment, the example using no color was present in rxvt.7 until it was removed in version 9.05 of rxvt-unicode. The current documentation contains no examples (the termcap/terminfo are only separate files). --=20 Thomas E.
