You have to be kidding. If it could, emacs should take the vt100 out of smooth-scroll. Certianly the fastest update will generally be to repaint the entire screen than to wait for the scroll to happen. Since emacs finds the fastest update, an accurate termcap would appear to be broken because you would never see the scroll happen. So you would have to remove all forms of screen update, including clear-screen, and force it to use scrolling regions. But then it will doubtless decide your terminal is too dumb to run emacs. It would probably be right. Apologies in arrears for the nasty tone, if you have even gotten this far. /jr
