Message-ID: <5147@utzoo.UUCP> Date: Sat, 2-Mar-85 16:45:38 EST Article-I.D.: utzoo.5147 Posted: Sat Mar 2 16:45:38 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 2-Mar-85 16:45:38 EST Organization: U of Toronto Zoology Lines: 9 I just corrected an error in the vt100 entry in /etc/termcap: the various keyboard sequences were given as \EOA (for example) where the correct sequence is \E[A . A quick scan of /etc/termcap shows the same possibly-incorrect substitution elsewhere, but I haven't done a global change for fear of fouling up some obscure terminal that really *does* want the O. Beware. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
