I tried various termcap entries for a dmd 5620 terminal; they (including my original one) all show the same symptom that annoys me when I use (Gnu) emacs version 17. The problem is that when I type control-p (or control-n) at the beginning (or at the end ) of a screen, the new display will miss serveral lines. The new screen can be restored by typing control-l. The termcap otherwise is working properly. I think the problem may be due to the speed of the terminal. Originally, I set my terminal speed to 19200 when using some layer program. Everything was working fine. Lately, I cannot use the layer program anymore and started using the 5620 as a regular terminal. While keeping the terminal speed at 19200, I found that a few lines would be missing from the output of commands such as "ls", "cat". After changing some setup parameters, I realized that if I reduce the terminal speed the situation will be improved. The line missing problem can be removed completed ( including the case in the emacs editor ), if the terminal is set to 2400. But 2400, I think, is just too slow for a 70 line terminal. I will be very satisfied if the line missing problem can be remedied at a speed 4800 or 9600. In the mean time, I just type control-l whenever is needed. Does anyone encounter the similar problem like this with 5620 terminals ? Any good remedy for the problem ?
