After much struggling and hair pulling, we have come to the conclusion
that while the HP2392 is a nice terminal, HP mode (which is more or less
the escape codes used on most all HP terminals) suck pathetically. 
Worst of all being the lame implementation of video attributes. 
Everything we have (including EMACS) works 500% better when we switch
the terminals to ANSI mode and use either the "ansi" terminfo driver, or
"ansi-d", an enhanced version we made for ourselves.

For those who lack a good ansi driver, here is our "ansi-d":

ansi-d|generic ansi standard terminal w/ dim,
	am, xhp, xenl, xon, 
	cols#80, lines#24, 
	bel=^G, cr=\r, clear=\E[H\E[J, el=\E[K, 
	ed=\E[J, cup=\E[%i%p1%d;%p2%dH, cud1=\n, home=\E[H, 
	cub1=\b, cuf1=\E[C, cuu1=\E[A, dch1=\E[P, 
	dl1=\E[M, blink=\E[5m, bold=\E[7m, dim=\E[1m, 
	smir=\E[4h, rev=\E[7m, smso=\E[7m, smul=\E[4m, 
	sgr0=\E[0m, rmir=\E[4l, rmso=\E[0m, rmul=\E[0m, 
	is1=\E[?1l\E(B\E)B, ich1=\E[@, il1=\E[L, kbs=\b, 
	kcud1=\E[B, khome=\E[>0s, kcub1=\E[D, kcuf1=\E[C, 
	kcuu1=\E[A, ich=\E[%p1%d@, rep=%p1%c\E[%p2%{1}%-%db, ind=\n, 
	ht=\t, 

Compile that with 'tic' then do this:

TERM=ansi-d ; export TERM

We added "dim", maybe some other stuff, I don't remember, but "dim" for
sure.

P.S.  Flames about my contempt for HP mode are not wanted, especially
from HP.  You won't change my mind, and I don't care to try and change
yours.
