| #Subject: Patch to bash 1.05 for SunView |
| # |
| #I think this works: |
| # |
| Mu|sun-cmd:am:bs:km:pt:li#34:co#80:cl=^L:ce=\E[K:cd=\E[J:rs=\E[s: |
| # |
| #Another alternative is to send the ti string at startup time (and, I |
| #guess, the te string at exit time); that is how vi works in a cmdtool. |
| #The best reason to not do this is that this also disables scrolling |
| #which, as I understand it, is why anyone would use cmdtool in the |
| #first place. Sending the ti string at startup time would do strange |
| #things on other systems too; in xterm it would use the alternate |
| #screen. |
| # |
| #The problem with cmdtool, in case that is less than obvious, is that |
| #almost none of the capabilities advertised in /etc/termcap are enabled |
| #while scrolling is enabled. It has other problems too, like being |
| #part of an outdated proprietary windowing system, but there's probably |
| #no need to dwell on that. In a sense, though, the sun-cmd termcap |
| #entry doesn't lie about the capabilities; I think the termcap man page |
| #does warn about some terminals having cursor motion capabilities only |
| #in the "ti/te window". |
| # |
| #A general solution to this problem would require a termcap capability |
| #which somehow tells which features are available outside of the ti/te |
| #window. There is no such capability in termcap now, of course. |
