Subject:   3.3: screen port - term settings
Message-ID:  <85pcc1$t2g$1@inner.demon.co.uk>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I am setting up 3.3 (upgrading from 2.2.2, at last), and use
'screen' all the time (in 'xterm').  (In truth, I'm fiddling with
3.3 while - impatiently - waiting for 3.4 to arrive, but anyway...)

I think something's wrong with the screen termcap - it just isn't
using the the bottom line of the xterm for the info lines (e.g.
C-a w).  Instead the info appears at the current cursor position
and does not disappear (it wasn't even inverse video).

This is 'screen' as installed from the 3.3 CD.  I've checked that
/etc/termcap holds an entry for TERM=screen (it does) and that
this is the latest screen (it is).  Beyond that, termcap is
almost rot13 to me.

Any suggestions?  Please e-mail and I'll summarise.
